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 somethin' 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 passеd out
Baby, was it over then?
And is it over now?

Looking at it now
Last December (last December)
We were built to fall apart
Then fall back together (back together)

Ooh, your necklace hanging from my neck
The night we couldn't quite forget
When we decided (we decided)
To move the furniture so we could dance
Baby, like we stood a chance
Two paper airplanes flying, flying, flying

And I remember thinking
But no

Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later (oh)
If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her (oh no)
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor (oh)
You search in every model's bed for somethin' 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?
Are we out of the woods?
And is it over now?

Remember when you hit the brakes too soon?
Twenty stitches in the hospital room
When you started crying, baby, I did too
But when the Sun came up, I was looking at you
Uh-huh
Remember when we couldn't take the heat?
I walked out, I said: I'm setting you free
Uh-huh
But the monsters turned out to be just trees
When the Sun came up, you were looking at me

And did you think I didn't see you? There were flashin' lights
At least I had the decency to keep my nights out of sight
(You were looking at me, oh)
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs and my whispered sighs
Oh, lord, I think about jumpin'
Off of very tall somethings
Just to see you come running (running)
And say the one thing I've been wanting, but no

Flashin' lights, oh, lord (oh)
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later (oh)
(Flashin' lights) I was hoping you'd be there
And say the one thing (oh, lord)
I've been wanting (oh, lord)
But no
