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?
