Could've said this day was coming
See your name light up my phone
You're halving revelations
Wish you'd never let me go
And you say that you miss me (I'm sure that you miss me)
Funny how you think you're such a mystery
Say you gotta tell me something face to face
I know I shouldn't do it, but, I'm gonna do it
I see exactly where I shouldn't go, I'm running to it
I've been trying out the high road and I hate it
I got a lotta sins, but you're my favorite
Baby, you're a bad idea, but I could do a few more years
I got a little left in here, funny how you reappear
In the nick of time, I guess it didn't die
Can't say we didn't try, baby, we're a bad idea
Fuck it, let's do it again
You'll pick somewhere that's private
You and I can really speak
Go ahead and tell me something
That you learned in therapy
And it's almost convincing (it's almost convincing)
But I've been known to go against my instincts
And I know you're performing
But it's working for me
We can talk about it in the morning
Baby, you're a bad idea, but I could do a few more years
I got a little left in here, funny how you reappear
In the nick of time, I guess it didn't die
Can't say we didn't try, baby, we're a bad idea
Fuck it, let's do it again
Bottom line, you made it out the first time
Still in love and half alive
We didn't die but no guarantees this time
We might
Alright, fuck it, let's do it again
Baby, you're a bad idea, but I could do a few more years
I got a little left in here, funny how you reappear
In the nick of time, I guess it didn't die
Can't say we didn't try, baby, we're a bad idea
Fuck it, let's do it again
