about

A song about being thrust into the friendzone and in the Space Wolves sensibility (poppy band from Buffalo), wishing the other guy was dead. Pop: allowing dark themes and currents to run underneath a happy lil melody.

lyrics

I hex her friends behind their backs.
Los Campensinos do it best...
the best you never had.

Yes and I'm finally back from two hundred miles away,
and you wanna tell me something I don't wanna hear but you'll say
that I'm just your bestest friend (bestest friend),
and that he's gonna be your bestest man (bestest man)
that I can't hold a candle to,
and I wish he was dead.

I'm glad that he tore your heart out.
So you can sit with me and you won't doubt
that I'm a quality guy for next semester.

Yes and I'm finally back from two hundred miles away,
and you wanna tell me something I don't wanna hear but you'll say
that I'm just your bestest friend (bestest friend),
and that he's gonna be your bestest man (bestest man)
that I can't hold a candle to,
and I wish he was dead.

AND I... WISH HE... WAS DEAD.
JUST LIKE THE CLASSIC SPACE WOLVES SONG
EXCEPT ITS NOT SEVEN SECONDS LONG
AND I HOPE IT CUTS THROUGH AND GETS THE POINT ACROSS.
