Platonic Best Friend

Hello my platonic best friend
I'm sending you this note
A long shot and a large confession
They say it's crazy but I don't

know how to tell you,
I've dropped some subtle hints
But we're close-knit like our clothes fit
So nit-pick one up like this

I love you best friend, my best friend
Unless you don't love me
Then I just sent the wrong link
I got big dumb thumbs and
I'd never send this to my best friend

Hello my platonic best friend
Let's take this nice and slow
I'm second-guessin' this confession but I reckon
That I'm better with a "no" than "you should've said" so

Let's put our hands together
And we'll drop this whole façade
Cause I just want us to be closer
Than the 2 p's in applaud

I love you best friend, my best friend
I had to let you know
By letting this guy do it for me
It's either real or a really really really good inside joke
Between best friends

We are platonic but I wanna be the opposite, it seems
I've gotten caught up by the promise of this opportunity and
I just wanted to acknowledge all the options at our feet
And I don't wanna hide my noggin' like an ostrich on the beach
Cause on the microscopic odds that you respond I wanna see
You spin the bottle, watch it wobble, have it stop, and point at me
I am fond of talkin' to ya, it's ironic that I need
A melodic middleman to monologue this all for me
But just as Washington was honored just for choppin' down a tree
A policy is flawed if it's not one of honesty
It's a lotta pills to swallow, here's some water if you need
You can wash away the offer but this song is coming clean

YEAH

I love you best friend, my best friend
It's such a simple sentence
That's sent just to mess with
Our heads and with our friendship
Don't stress I'm just messin
Unless you're interested
In the next step or progressin'
I'm hedging all my bets on this old tune

But my platonic best friend... I love you
Yeah, my platonic best friend... I love you
