lyrics

The laughs a second too loud
The hugs a second too long
The stupid decisions of TV Characters
Somehow start to seem rational
It feels so good to love someone
When you haven’t for a long time
It’s the buzz of being 15 again
When the stakes were so damn high
The feeling of being out of control
You aren’t the master of your own mind

It may be toxic
It may be just what you need
Maybe it's a healing thing
Maybe it’s destroying you from the inside
Maybe you’re a bad person
I don’t want to move on yet
It’s so fun flirting with you in my head
I don’t want to move on yet
Remembering all the funny things that you said
It’s the part that tries to forget the facts
The part that tries to pretend
I rack my brain for the million ways the future could play out
I can see no happy end
So we can only be friends

I opened the door to more
An inevitable mistake
That doesn’t come around everyday
Makes what’s ridiculous feel rational
And I will never tell you
Just like when I was 15
The feeling of slipping out of control
We’ll keep it wholesome
We’ll keep it clean

It may be toxic
It may be just what you need
Maybe it's a healing thing
Maybe it’s destroying you from the inside
Maybe you’re a bad person

I don’t want to move on yet
It’s so fun flirting with you in my head
I don’t want to move on yet
Remembering all the funny things that you said
It’s the part that tries to forget the facts
The part that tries to pretend
I rack my brain for the million ways the future could play out
I can see no happy end
So we can only be friends

We can only be friends
We can only be friends
We can only be friends
