[Verse 1]
You texted "home?" at 2 AM
I typed "who's this?" then hit send
But my hands
They knew the way
To your street
To your gate (damn)
[Verse 2]
You opened up
Said "this is wrong"
But you pulled me in too strong
We were quiet
We were loud
Leaving scratches
Losing count (yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm brushing off your jacket from my floor
Heart is racing every time I hear your door
Every shadow on the wall feels like a threat
Every "what if" tastes like your breath
[Chorus]
One time
Never again
Say it like a prayer under my skin
I want you
I hate that I do
You’re my favorite
Worst kind of truth
Hands shake
Checking my phone
Swear I’m better when I’m alone
One time
Never again
(But I’d fall if you asked at 3 AM)
[Verse 3]
You left your ring by my sink
You wrote "forget me" in pink
On a napkin
Half a joke
Half a lie we almost spoke
[Pre-Chorus]
Now you're laughing in the hallway with your friends
I look past you like we never reached the end
Every angle of your jaw is a trap
Every almost-touch pulls me back
[Chorus]
One time
Never again
Say it like a curse under my grin
I want you
I hate that I do
You’re my favorite
Worst kind of truth
Teeth grind
Eyes on the floor
If I kiss you
I’ll want it more
One time
Never again
(But your name keeps beating in my chest)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to bass and vocals]
You: "If we were smart
We’d walk away"
Me: "If we were smart
We’d never stayed"
You: "This was a glitch
It’s not who I am"
Me: "Then why’s your hoodie in my hands?" (oh)
Both: We’re not kids
We know better
Both: Still we’re burning through the tether
You: "Block my number"
Me: "Turn the key"
Both: Say it twice
Make it true for me
[Chorus]
One time
Never again
Screaming in my head like an anthem
I want you
I hate that I do
You’re my favorite
Worst kind of truth
Close call
Back at your door
Walk away
But I want more
One time
Never again
(Keep repeating till the want goes dead)
[Outro]
[Vocals chopped
Fading]
One time
Never again
One time
Never again (yeah)
