Men and women of the friend zone
I've stopped and listened
Seen your statuses and tweets
Now let me explain my position
I understand that you chalk lines
To separate friends from lovers
Redraw it over time
Or erase it for a summer
But those who've felt the internal incisions
Caused by the inferno of this division
know, it's a difficult position
Fearful of the the world's wilderness
You set traps so you don't trap yourself
This strategy becomes an infectious sickness
When a friend gets caught in those sharp metal pinches
A friend can develop s**ual tension
No zones can end it
It's natural, why don't we accept this
The friend that leans in for a kiss
Feels like more than a friend
Even if you resist
False labels won't change reality
Lets have a relationship of openness and honesty
I'm not a traffic cone
So don't zone me
Lets be there for eachother
Like genuine friends
And don't get me wrong
I don't blame you
I've played that role too
What would help is something new
A way of looking through the lens from a different point of view
Let's trust fall off moon
and please look down
We'll use our clothes as parachutes
And surf the clouds
We're two spirits kickin' it as one on this pale blue dot
Whether we're friends or friends and lovers
It doesn't matter what it is or not
Our differences are the marshmallows in our lucky charms
The raisins in our bran, the frost on our flakes
I mean come on!
Like cereals, our personalities have different tastes
If one of us falls in for the missed kiss
Then respect the resistance
We'll move on and have a hell of a time
Looking up into the universe
And wondering If there's a purpose to life
Like those stars, feelings evolve too!
You don't have feel like you're stuck in quicksand
Breathe and remain cool
I'd like to think we've all been there
Your eyes tell a story and I swear, I feel it
So let's just hug it out
Knowing it's okay to be different
