Like We Planned

It's always midnight somewhere as someone contemplates her phone
And what they could possibly offer that would stop her from being alone
And if it's only coincidence that leads her to someone else
Too bad there's some things you just can't do by yourself

But it's cool
I know the rules
The same ones that I learned in middle school
You keep it sweet and easy, exactly like she says
I don't know what she's crying for, she says it was only sex
Sometimes a girl forgets

It's always sad that somewhere, someone's feeling like a jerk
Just lying there in her underwear, and soon she's gonna go to work
Unless the walls collapse 'cause they were weakened by the rain
I drank my coffee slowly as she put on shoes and she walked away

But it's cool
You know the rules
The same ones that you learned in middle school
You keep it sweet and easy, exactly like she says
I don't know what she's crying for, she says it was only sex
Sometimes a girl forgets

Well it's 3 AM and the light was grey, the way it always is in paperbacks
I used to lay on my back and just stare at the ceiling
Trying to get a feeling that would come so easy
But love is a drug and a kiss is a hit
And I'm just standing on the corner, just wondering if
I could fall in love, well a girl could dream
Or you could die alone but... What does it all mean?

So I'll just kick these rocks and you just sing your song
And one day I'll be riding with the radio on
And I'll hear your voice but you'll be out on stage
Looking into the eyes of some girl who's made
You'll forget how much she liked having you around
Just like I used to do when the rain came down
So loud, you could drown but you wouldn't get wet
I guess, some nights you just never forget
