Jeremy Zucker Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mess with me on purpose so I'll hang onto you
I know what you mean when you act like that
But you don't know it's breakin' my heart
Said that it was just never gonna happen
Then almost kissed me in the dark
Every time we talk, it just hurts so bad
'Cause I don't even know what we are
But I can play the part
We say we're friends
But I'm catchin' you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause we're fightin' over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Still can't tell if we both mean well
Keep me guessin' if this is life or hell
Think I might've said too much
Bit the dust, now I'm kinda dizzy
Overthinking us, until I'm drunk
Sick of this whole city
Don't know where to start
Don't know how to hold my heart
And if we're really what we say we are
Then why is this so hard?
We say we're friends
But I'm catchin' you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause we're fightin' over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
Mm, hey
We say we're friends
But I'm catchin' you across the room
It makes no sense 'cause we're fightin' over what we do
And there's no way that I'll end up being with you
But friends don't look at friends that way
Friends don't look at friends that way
In Jeremy Zucker's song, "Friends," he speaks about the complexity of a relationship that's unclearly defined yet very nuanced. Initially, he describes being treated in a manner that leaves him feeling conflicted, with his particular partner's behavior causing him a great deal of grief. He admits that his mate was willingly playing with his feelings, jerking him around and keeping him hooked for her convenience, without any real concern for his emotions. Although he acknowledges that he understands what she's doing, and it may not be entirely intentional, it still causes him a lot of pain.
The lyrics go on to address how their relationship is often perplexing, and he can't seem to make sense of it, even if he tries. Although they both declare that they are just friends, there are moments where their undeniable feelings for one another appear to take over. He notes that it doesn't make sense that two people who claim to have a platonic connection would be at odds with one another about how they interact. Ultimately, he recognizes that despite any underlying feelings, they can never be together because "friends don't look at friends that way."
