I said I could never love another
She said that she loves me like a brother
Why is this feeling so high school?
The way I fall for you
Chronic victim of these awkward situations
"Just friends," you can put it in quotations
I think I need a vacation

Had to build a summer home in the friend zone
'Cause I couldn't keep livin' in the motel
I was feelin' so close till my heart broke
All the letdown got me sayin', "Oh, well"
If I were the last man alive, would I be your type
Or would I just be the guy that your parents like?
Can't stay, but I won't go
So I build a summer home in the friend zone (Friend zone)

Is there something hateable about me?
You don't leave, but you keep me at an arm's reach
In your pocket or your jacket sleeve
Never a locket or a diamond ring
I'd kill for a little bit of closure
But I'd die if you told me it was over
I think I need a vacation (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Had to build a summer home in the friend zone
'Cause I couldn't keep livin' in the motel
I was feelin' so close till my heart broke (Heart broke)
All the letdown got me sayin', "Oh, well"
If I were the last man alive, would I be your type
Or would I just be the guy that your parents like?
Can't stay, but I won't go
So I build a summer home in the friend zone (Friend zone)

Wish I could call you mine
I'm blue 'cause you left me on read
My heart is on the line
You got me all up in my head
Should leave it all behind
So I don't end up here alone
But you're stuck on my mind
So I build a summer home in the friend zone

If I were the last man alive, would I be your type
Or would I just be the guy that your parents like?
Can't stay, but I won't go
So I build a summer home in the friend zone (Friend zone)
