After performing Mistake and On My Knees on Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday, Middle Kids have now released new song Bought It from their outstanding impending Lost Friends album. Bought It is yet another powerful, crunchy singalong. The song is, however, replete with angst (taking a line for its chorus from the seminal Tears for Fears’ song) and regrets and allusions to longings for something beyond the here-and-now. Word. Check it out below, followed by the song’s lyrics at bottom.

Bought It:

“My friend, I need a little help
To fend the darkness at the end of all this
I thought that I had fought it
But like clockwork it seems to keep on coming

Oh dear, you saw me on a night
When I was pissed but I tried to act alright
Smooth talking, I’m not sure you bought it
So I’m crawling to the nearest exit

Shout, let it out
I need a little something but I can’t seem to get it now
Oh, help me now
I’ve got a lot of questions but I can’t seem to get them out

Let’s pretend that we had never met
So then it’s fair when we are getting it
On Sunday, I know that that’s a fun day
To remember til I see you next year

This must be the memory
Where you took that photograph of me
Don’t act so embarrassed
We all do dumb things when we’re lonely
You know my heart deeply
But we don’t talk about that do we
Hold your white flag of silence

Shout, let it out
I need a little something but I can’t seem to get it now
Oh, help me now
I’ve got a lot of questions but I can’t seem to get them out”
