How It Happened

Well, they shot the messenger But the message never was quite what he intended And he made a mess of her Felt the intent was misread, poorly ingested And he's just waiting for this whole thing He's just waiting for this whole thing to fall And she's not quite sure how this all happened He writes his number on a paper napkin Says, "It's just one date", trying to save face Trying to probe all the things he lacks But she's just waiting for those old feels She's just waiting for those old feels to fade She says, "Oh no, I can't believe it again I tried 'it' on and I'm so, so (oh so) tired of everything Oh no, I can't believe it again I tried 'it' on and I'm so, so (oh so) tired of everything" Why do I, why do I want to live on your wall? And I won't change that dial 'Cause you're my evening news Showing me the world's abuse And I'm not quite sure how this all happened I used to feel, now I'm just acting I made a mistake, you made a complaint I kept my mouth shut all out of restraint And now I'm just waiting for this whole thing I'm just waiting for this whole thing to fade away Oh no, I can't believe it again I tried 'it' on and I'm so, so (oh so) tired of everything Oh no, I can't believe it again I tried 'it' on and I'm so, so (oh so) tired of everything"
