  • (Hey)

    Haven't heard from you in a couple of months
    But I'm out right now and I'm all wrapped up
    And you're callin' my phone, you're all alone
    And I'm sensing some undertone
    And I'm right here with all my friends
    But you're sending me your new address
    And I know we're done, I know we're through
    But, God, when I look at you

    My brain goes, "Ah"
    Can't hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
    Like blah-blah-blah (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
    Should probably
    I should probably, probably not
    I should probably, probably not

    Seeing you tonight
    It's a bad idea, right?
    Seeing you tonight
    It's a bad idea, right?
    Seeing you tonight
    It's a bad idea, right?
    Seeing you tonight
    Fuck it, it's fine

    Yes, I know that he's my ex
    But can't two people reconnect?
    "I only see him as a friend"
    (The biggest lie I ever said)
    Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex
    But can't two people reconnect?
    I only see him as a friend
    I just tripped and fell into his bed

    Now I'm gettin' in the car, wreckin' all my plans
    I know I should stop, but I can't
    And I told my friends I was asleep
    But I never said where or in whose sheets
    And I pull up to your place on the second floor
    And you're standing, smiling at the door
    And I'm sure I've seen much hotter men
    But I really can't remember when

    My brain goes, "Ah"
    Can't hear my thoughts (I cannot hear my thoughts)
    Like blah-blah-blah (blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
    Should probably
    I should probably, probably not
    I should probably, probably not

    Seeing you tonight
    It's a bad idea, right?
    Seeing you tonight
    It's a bad idea, right?
    Seeing you tonight
    It's a bad idea, right?
    Seeing you tonight
    Fuck it, it's fine

    Yes, I know that he's my ex
    But can't two people reconnect?
    "I only see him as a friend"
    (The biggest lie I ever said)
    Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex
    But can't two people reconnect?
    I only see him as a friend
    I just tripped and fell into his bed
    Oh, yes, I know that he's my ex
    Can't two people reconnect?

    The biggest lie I ever said
    I just tripped and fell into his bed
    My brain goes, "Ah"
    Can't hear my thoughts
    The biggest lie I ever said
    My brain goes, "Ah"
    Can't hear my thoughts
    I just tripped and fell into his bed

    Blah
