One Time Thing

When I woke up today
I got your message on my phone
You said I had fun
Did you ever make it home?
I tried to read between the lines
Oh yeah, I’m doing fine
Feels like my head is made of moonshine
And cheap-ass wine
My best friend told me
I should just stop looking for a sign
Babe
So okay
You told me it was just a one time thing
A spark on gasoline
So what could I say?
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were mean
Then in a couple of days
I get this photograph of you
The message says you’re lonely too
Do you wanna tell me what to do?
I thought maybe it was a line
When we spoke that one last time
Sounds like your breath is full of moonshine
And cheap-ass wine
My best friend told me
I should just stop looking for a sign
Babe
So okay
You told me it was just a one time thing
A spark on gasoline
So what could I say?
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were like a machine
And so damn mean
My mind’s falling to pieces every time I try to jump up
On this trampoline
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?
Why won’t you tell me I was just your mistake?
How long can this take?
How many sleepless nights can I go over every second
While I’m lying awake?
Babe
So okay
If this is really just a one time thing
I think I’ve lost something
What else can I say?
I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
Somebody told me I should stay away
But I can’t help it I want one more thing
Silence is deafening
I can’t put you away
And I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were mean
