[Verse 1]
You were just a headset
Name tag, same break room
Laughing at the small talk
Sharing little side views
You would steal my fries
I would save your seat
Clock out at the same time
Walk you to the street
Late nights, closing shift
Venting by the back gate
You were talking 'bout your past
I was tryna translate
Every eye-roll, every sigh
Into what you don't say
Didn't know that I'd be
Just another throwaway
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "It's harmless, it's fun"
But my chest felt like it weighed a ton
I kept telling myself, "Don't fall"
Then you leaned in, and that was all
[Chorus]
We were friends in the daytime
Lovers in that Mustang midnight
Windows fogged from the way you kissed
Said you "didn't do things like this"
You were warm in the front seat
Cold when the sun hit concrete
You took what you wanted, drove away
Left my heart on the highway
Just a mistake in your Mustang
Just a mistake in your Mustang
[Verse 2]
You climbed in, slammed the door
Laughing, said you "hated the world"
Took your heels off, feet on glass
Singing along, sleeves unfurled
You were tracing on my thigh
Drawing hearts, drawing lines
Tangled in that parking lot
Like we paused all of time
You were whispering my name
Like you'd waited all year
Told me "I feel so safe"
Breathing heavy in my ear
Then the texts got slower
Calls went straight to air
"Sorry, I've been busy"
Like I wasn't ever there
[Pre-Chorus]
You said, "Don't overthink, it's fine"
While you crossed out my name in your mind
I kept hoping you'd just explain
But you ghosted, then blamed it on pain
[Chorus]
We were friends in the daytime
Lovers in that Mustang midnight
Windows fogged from the way you kissed
Said you "didn't do things like this"
You were warm in the front seat
Cold when the sun hit concrete
You took what you wanted, drove away
Left my heart on the highway
Just a mistake in your Mustang
Just a mistake in your Mustang
[Bridge]
Did you ever mean it
When you held my hand at work
When you cried in the stock room
Talking 'bout who did you worse
Was I just your practice
Till someone else came through
You borrowed all my comfort
Paid me back in "we're through"
Now your chair sits empty
But I still see you there
Hear you in the break room
Smell your perfume in the air
You clocked out of my life
Like you never clocked in
I lost my best friend
Chasing something paper thin (yeah)
[Chorus]
We were friends in the daytime
Lovers in that Mustang midnight
Windows fogged from the way you kissed
Said you "didn't do things like this"
You were warm in the front seat
Cold when the sun hit concrete
You took what you wanted, drove away
Left my heart on the highway
Just a mistake in your Mustang
Just a mistake in your Mustang
