Reality Check
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She’s over it, just so you know there’s no turning back
Your loose leaf and blue jeans and lines from old movies won’t cut it
She needs something better than that
Get over it, cause you won't give a shit when she’s crawling back
Your daydreams and big schemes and hollywood endings should cover it
You’ll want something not so friendly
They could be the one, they could be the one
Shut em out, shut em down
Here comes something not so friendly
Make it clear it’s not pretend, see
They could be the one but you hit and run
Shut em out, shut em down
Another one’s getting away
She’s under him just in case you think she’s coming back
They went out, he paid for the date and she waited for nothing
Tell me are you better than that?
You’re blowing it, but you won't be around when she wants you back
You’ll move on to something you think is more stunning but, brother, you’re gonna regret all that
They could be the one, they could be the one
Shut em out, shut em down
Here comes something not so friendly
Make it clear it’s not pretend, see
They could be the one but you hit and run
Shut em out, shut em down
Another one’s getting away
You’re gonna go through hell and want to go through it all over again
This is where you belong and your weaknesses are showing again, they're showing again
It’s a decade long game of phone tag, but if it’s wrong why do we still call back
Hey do you want to take a ride, it’s really getting nice outside
It’s the time of year that I wish she’d come back
They could be the one, they could be the one
Shut em out, shut em down
Here comes something not so friendly
Make it clear it’s not pretend, see
They could be the one but you hit and run
Shut em out, shut em down
Another one’s getting away
