The synthesized heart monitor beep drives the listener to feel a real sense of urgency placed into Hum...
[Verse 1]
Go ahead and rev your engine
For the last time
I did you bad, there's no pretending
So, baby, twist the knife
I'll cut my hair, you'll pierce your nose
And we'll keep it real tight
You'll go and date some girls I hate
I know they ain't your type
[Pre-Chorus]
And for a while
You just existed in the weirdest dreams
Where I watch you bleed to death on a loop
And I thought I'd moved along
But you moved far too close for comfort
This city's just too small for me and you
You, you, you
You, you, you
[Chorus]
We just can't be friends anymore (Ah-a, ah-a)
Did I use you till your heart turned black?
Now there's no coming back from that
We just can't be friends anymore (Ah-a, ah-a)
I pulled the plug and let the line go flat
Now there's no coming back from that
[Verse 2]
Go ahead and wipe the hard drives
And all the good times
I'm the ghost that haunts your camera roll
Let the credits roll tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
We've got no chance of resuscitation
Romance I ripped from the pages
I'll let you go through the stages
(I go through the stages)
First kisses under the streetlight
Our greatest hits on repeat
I just can't delete what it feels like
[Chorus]
We just can't be friends anymore (Ah-a, ah-a)
Did I use you till your heart turned black?
Now there's no coming back from that
We just can't be friends anymore (Ah-a, ah-a)
I pulled the plug and let the line go flat
Now there's no coming back from that (Oh-oh)
[Post-Chorus]
No chance of resuscitation
Romance I ripped from the pages
I'll let you go through the stages (Oh-oh-oh)
First kisses under the streetlight
Our greatest hits on repeat
I just can't delete what it feels like (Oh-oh)
[Outro]
We just can't be friends
We just can't be friends anymore
No, we just can't be friends, no
We just can't be friends anymore

The person I wrote ‘Antichrist’ about moved literally down the road from me, with a friend. When you have the same friends, your lives are kind of intwined and at some point you’re going to run into each other. It’s that fear of being ambushed by old feelings that I really just want to bury and not...
