LYRICS:
I should've stayed at home
'Cause right now I see all these people that love me
But I still feel alone
Can't help but check my phone
I could've made you mine
But no, it wasn't meant to be and see, I wasn't made for you
And you weren't made for me
Though it seemed so easy

And that's because I wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one that makes your day
The one you think about as you lie awake
I can't wait to be your number one
I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine
But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry

But won't you wait?
You know it's too late
I'm on my own shit now
Let me tell you how it feels to be fucking great
I feel great
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
You need to be yourself
Love someone for loving you instead of someone really cool
That makes your heart melt
Who knows what you truly felt?
You're still my favorite girl
You better trust me when I tell you
There ain't no one else more beautiful in this damn world
In this damn world

You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
I said that
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, best friend
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
Best friend
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend

I say that I'm happy
I say that I'm happy
But no, no, no, no
No, no, no Oh,

I still wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one that makes your day
The one you think about as you lie awake
And I can't wait to be your number, your number one
I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine
But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry

I still wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one
I might just be the one

“I see all these people that love me, but I still feel alone.”

This hits home.

[skylaellison]

I smile like an idiot Everytime this comes on my playlist

[ellenoor]

we're not friends, we're not enemies, juist strangers with memories.

[karenfisher]

My 18 year old son, experiencing young love, just sent this song. We share a lot of musical tastes. What a fun song, love it!

[breezytale]

There's something about his music that makes you so motivated to love yourself and someone...

[jo-lxyw]

"You need to be yourself
Love someone for loving you
Instead of someone really cool that makes your heart melt”
- Rex Orange County 2017

[quinntheduck]

(edit: this song) recently turned 7 years old
still a banger

[khindyson]

Wow, 6 years since this was out and still a freakin' banger to listen to if you're feeling any mood! <3

[koolkiddo]

My favorite part of this is 1:56 by far, gives such a chill Wii vibe.

[kayla..kllz]

THIS SONG IS THE DEFINITION OF LOVE AND FRIENDZONE AT THE SAME TIME

[Gabe_tba]

Love coming back to this song from time to time. Always gives me the same feeling and lets me reminisce on memories.

[akulatharunkumar]

I came here 4 years ago and this still feels the same 😅

[gabisilva]

We all have those strangers that once we called “besties”

[mcchickn]

does anyone else get super fricking sad vibes but loves it and wants to cry

[tomcat]

That last line hurts like a hell - "I wanna be the one, I might just be the one."

Unrequited Love is the worst feeling ever especially if you fell in love with your Best Friend. Special kind of hell. I wouldn't wish it to my worst enemy.

[TheBuioGod]

Lyrics

I should've stayed at home
'Cause right now I see all these people that love me
But I still feel alone
Can't help but check my phone
I could've made you mine
But no, it wasn't meant to be and see, I wasn't made for you
And you weren't made for me
Though it seemed so easy

And that's because I wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one that makes your day
The one you think about as you lie awake
I can't wait to be your number one
I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine
But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry

But won't you wait?
You know it's too late
I'm on my own shit now
Let me tell you how it feels to be fucking great
I feel great
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
You need to be yourself
Love someone for loving you instead of someone really cool
That makes your heart melt
Who knows what you truly felt?
You're still my favorite girl
You better trust me when I tell you
There ain't no one else more beautiful in this damn world
In this damn world

You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
I said that
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, best friend
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend
Best friend
You're gonna wanna be my best friend, baby
You're gonna wanna be my best friend

I say that I'm happy
I say that I'm happy
But no, no, no, no
No, no, no

Oh, I still wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one that makes your day
The one you think about as you lie awake
And I can't wait to be your number, your number one
I'll be your biggest fan and you'll be mine
But I still wanna break your heart and make you cry

I still wanna be your favorite boy
I wanna be the one
I might just be the one

[issyclaire]
