  • Once the flight had flown (uh-huh)
    With the wilt of the rose (uh-huh)
    I slept all alone (uh-huh)
    You still wouldn't go

    Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later
    I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters
    You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor
    You search in every maiden's bed for something greater

    Baby, was it over
    When she laid down on your couch?
    Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
    "Come here," I whispered in your ear
    In your dream as you passed out, baby
    Was it over then?
    And is it over now?

    When you lost control (uh-huh)
    Red blood, white snow (uh-huh)
    Blue dress on a boat (uh-huh)
    Your new girl is my clone

    And did you think I didn't see you?
    There were flashing lights
    At least I had the decency
    To keep my nights out of sight
    Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
    And my whispered sighs
    Oh, Lord, I think about
    Jumping off of very tall somethings
    Just to see you come running
    And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no

    Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later
    If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her (no)
    You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor
    You search in every model's bed for something greater

    Baby, was it over
    When she laid down on your couch?
    Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
    "Come here," I whispered in your ear
    In your dream as you passed out, baby
    Was it over then?
    And is it over now?

    Uh-huh
    Uh-huh

    Think I didn't see you?
    There were flashing lights
    At least I had the decency
    To keep my nights out of sight
    Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
    And my whispered sighs
    Oh, Lord, I think about
    Jumping off of very tall somethings
    Just to see you come running (running)
    And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no

    (Flashing lights, oh, Lord)
    Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later
    (Flashing lights) I was hoping you'd be there
    And say the one thing (oh, Lord)
    I've been wanting (oh, Lord)
