Hop to Another SongHey…
Haven’t heard from you in a couple of months
but I’m out right now and I’m all torn up.
And you’re callin’ my phone, you’re all alone
and I’m sensin’ some undertone.
And I’m right here with all my friends
but you’re sending me your new address.
I know we’re done, I know we’re through,
but wow when I look at you.
My brain goes “Ah…”
can’t hear my thoughts.
(I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah,
(blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
should prob’ly,
I should prob’ly, prob’ly not,
I should prob’ly, prob’ly not.
Leavin’ you tonight… it’s a bad idea, right?
Leavin’ you tonight… it’s a bad idea, right?
Leavin’ you tonight… it’s a bad idea, right?
Leavin’ you tonight… I think it’s time.
Yes I know that he’s my ex
but can’t two people reconnect?
“I only see him as a friend,”
the biggest lie I ever said.
Oh yes I know that he’s my ex
but can’t two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend –
I just tripped and fell at what I said.
Now I’m gettin’ in the car, wreckin’ all my plans,
I know I should stop, but I can’t.
And I told my friends I was asleep
but I never said what was wrong with me.
And I pull up to your place on the second floor
and you’re standing, smiling at the door.
And I’m sure I felt much better then –
but I really can’t remember when.
My brain goes “Ah…”
can’t hear my thoughts.
(I cannot hear my thoughts)
Like blah-blah-blah,
(blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah)
should prob’ly not,
I should prob’ly, prob’ly not,
I should prob’ly, prob’ly not.
Leavin’ you tonight… it’s a bad idea, right?
Leavin’ you tonight… it’s a bad idea, right?
Leavin’ you tonight… it’s a bad idea, right?
Leavin’ you tonight… I think it’s time.
Yes I know that he’s my ex
but can’t two people reconnect?
“I only see him as a friend” –
the biggest lie I ever said.
Oh yes I know that he’s my ex
but can’t two people reconnect?
I only see him as a friend –
I just tripped and fell at what I said.
Oh yes I know that he’s my ex…
can’t two people reconnect?
The biggest lie I ever said…
I just tripped and fell at what I said.
My brain goes “Ah…”
can’t hear my thoughts.
(the biggest lie I ever said)
My brain goes “Ah…”
can’t hear my thoughts.
(I just tripped and fell at what I said. )
Thoughts… blah… thoughts… blah…
