Lyrics
The drugs are for the weekend
The use of drugs is reserved for the weekend.
But I don’t think it’s just the weekend anymore, love
Suggesting that the drug use extends beyond the weekend, questioning the temporal boundaries of the experience, and addressing a significant other.
Now the feelings are receding

But still you’ll always be the one that I adore, love
Expressing enduring affection for the significant other despite emotional changes.
Yeah

And all of these motherfuckers are just fair-weather friends

But still I try to keep them
