[Verse 1]
I always say the first thing, not the right thing
I'm better at a last call than a phone call
I'd rather lean hard on the gas and forget about the brake
I try to laugh the truth off instead of face it
I come undone without a warning
Every time I move on, I leave damage in my wake
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not what you were looking for
Thought I was hello and nothing more
[Chorus]
All you wanted was something that's real, a story to tell
A drink, maybe two, top of the shelf
A stare in a cab on the way to some band
And a curbside closing time kiss
You needed the right head to turn, the right hand to touch
A feeling to chase, a fall you could trust
Somewhere to run, someone to miss
Somehow you ended up with someone to fix
Oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
Did you get caught up in the moment?
Drop your guard for just a minute
How'd you get tangled all up in the careless wreck I am?
Broken hearts leave hearts broken
Loving me is so hard, I know it
Why you took me on, I'll never understand
[Chorus]
You were looking for something that's real, a story to tell
A drink, maybe two, top of the shelf
A stare in a cab on the way to some band
A curbside closing time kiss
You needed the right head to turn, the right hand to touch
A feeling to chase, a fall you could trust
Somewhere to run, someone to miss
Somehow you ended up with someone to fix
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
[Chorus]
All you wanted was something that's real, a story to tell
A drink, maybe two, top of the shelf
A stare in a cab on the way to some band
And a curbside closing time kiss
You needed the right head to turn, the right hand to touch
A feeling to chase, a fall you could trust
Somewhere to run, someone to miss
Somehow you ended up with someone to fix
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
I always say the first thing, not the right thing
I'm better at a last call than a phone call
I'd rather lean hard on the gas and forget about the brake
I try to laugh the truth off instead of face it
I come undone without a warning
Every time I move on, I leave damage in my wake
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm not what you were looking for
Thought I was hello and nothing more
[Chorus]
All you wanted was something that's real, a story to tell
A drink, maybe two, top of the shelf
A stare in a cab on the way to some band
And a curbside closing time kiss
You needed the right head to turn, the right hand to touch
A feeling to chase, a fall you could trust
Somewhere to run, someone to miss
Somehow you ended up with someone to fix
Oh, oh, oh

A feeling to chase, a fall you could trust
Somewhere to run, someone to miss
Somehow you ended up with someone to fix
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
