"Can't Be Friends" lyrics

Beneath this cheap fluorescent lighting
You should look much less inviting
But your incessant perfection never gives me a break
You wake my adolescent heart up
Make those schoolyard stutters start up
I can't repress this obsession when I look at your face

I freeze in place
What can I say?

I lose my cool around you
My mouth ain't making sense
I think too much about you
That's why we can't be friends
I jump off bridges for you
Climb back and jump again
I think I'm falling for you
That's why we can't be friends

I know the way it ends
So if we can't be more we can't be friends

Beneath this polyester jacket
My heartbeat's making a racket
Rushing like rookie percussion I'm ahead of myself
I love your effervescent thinking
Even miss you when I'm blinking
You knock me down for the count, I hear the ring of the bell

It's just as well
And I bet you can tell

I lose my cool around you
My mouth ain't making sense
I think too much about you
That's why we can't be friends
I jump off bridges for you
Climb back and jump again
I think I'm falling for you
That's why we can't be friends

I know the way it ends
So if we can't be more we can't be friends
You know I can't pretend
So if we can't be more we can't be friends
