Oh, what was I thinking
Trying to keep you around and prevent you from sinking
I think I lost you
When we kissed on the couch and we listened to U2
It was such a good New Year’s Day
But I should’ve known it would fade
It was fucked up in hindsight
How you stood me up in the dorm room that late night
And I didn’t want to believe
It was a calculated reprieve
I’ve never been scared
Of taking my chances
But maybe I should be
When it comes to romance, and
I shouldn’t make out with my friends
Was I just a distraction
A way to improve your awkward interactions
Well I think you lost me
When you knocked on my door that cold February
I pretended that I wasn’t home
And that’s when you left me alone
I’ve never been scared
Of taking my chances
But maybe I should be
When it comes to romance, and
I shouldn’t make out with my friends
Letting go
Means letting you know, oh, oh
Years later I married
And you followed that jam band around the whole country
Were you thinking I’d follow you too
I bet you still haven’t found something true
I’ve never been scared
Of taking my chances
But maybe I should be
When it comes to romance, and
I shouldn’t make out with my friends
It’s only a means to an end
No I shouldn’t make out with my friends
It’s only a means to an end
It’s only a means
It’s only a means to
It’s only a means to an end
Oh, oh, what was I thinking
