Tonight I'll fix your telly and you'll tell me I'm your hetero GBF
Then I'll tire of my mission and start wishin' for an imminent death

Then we'll watch your stupid shows and pretend they're not crap
'Til your eyes start to close, then your head's on my lap
Oh are you trying to kill me?

You're dating some suit who tries to substitute a brain with pecs
And I'm crashing on your couch trying to block out your loud, loud sex

Tomorrow you can tell me how he made your world rock
And tell me all about the ins-and-outs of his cock
Oh are you trying to kill me?

Here's another song from the frontline of the friendzone
Here's another song from the frontline of the friendzone
Oh
Are you trying to kill me?

You need somebody to walk you home
So I'm stationed on the frontline of the friendzone
You say all the guys out were puerile and crass
While I'm lagging behind so I can stare at your ass
And it feels like a chance and my brain is screaming kiss her 
And you take your hand in mine and you whisper
You've known a lot of guys but I'm like no other 
And you love me
Like a brother

Agh
Are you trying to kill me?
Oh
Are you trying to kill

Song from the Frontline of the Friendzone


She dresses like the '80s
She has full-tattooed sleeves
She drinks rare Russian coffee
She smokes peppermint leaves

She's got a new boyfriend each week
A new girlfriend every three
And she's got piercings places
Only they get to see

She'll make your toes curl
(Oh what a hip girl)

She says she's self-taught keytar
She's in at least three bands
She's read all Nietzsche and she
Can't explain him, but she understands

She's the best thing in the world
(Oh what a hip girl)

She's formed some clubs for books and
One club for anarchy
She's read like half 'Republic'
And she says she agrees

She likes lo-fi synth bluegrass
And funk-pop from Tibet
She's just the coolest person
I think I've ever met

She's a diamond and a pearl
