about

“Can’t Be Friends” touches on the experience of outgrowing, expanding and moving on from friendships. Having lived in 5 of Australia’s 8 states and territories, Pipin is no stranger to the shuffle of friendship groups and the beauty of finding connections anywhere that you go. Recorded at Out With The In Studios by Hugh Middleton and mixed and mastered in London, UK by Alex L’Estrange, the song takes a turn in the pop direction and is sure to make you groove.

lyrics

It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
Can't put my finger on it, it's all gone we've lost it
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore

Energy zap, a heart attack
You take form me what I don't have
Pulled at my limbs, it's all sink no swim
Icy waters are drowning me in

Lean in to hear all the pointless chatter
I don't understand why it doesn't matter
Hours and hours and hours on patterns
I'm feeling good, thanks for asking

It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
Can't put my finger on it, it's all gone we've lost it
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore

Growing pains, picture frames
Nostalgic places with familiar names
Create a world in so many places
Leave me out of your conversations

It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
Can't put my finger on it, it's all gone we've lost it
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore

Pretending, expending all my energy
It's taking it all out of me

It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore
Can't put my finger on it, it's all gone we've lost it
It's fine, but maybe we can't be friends anymore

Pipin Brisbane, Australia

Pipin is an encapsulation of all things dreamy pop, her songs holding reminiscent flavours of disco that bring on 90's nostalgia. Named partly after a very awesome puppy, partly after The Lord of the Rings and partly a children’s storybook, Pipin is an exploration of the creative spirit and a form of self-preservation amidst this crazy and wonderful world. ... more
