[Verse 1]
Ben and Vera on the front porch swing
Laughing at the way the church bell rings
Cheap red wine in a coffee cup
Two chairs
One heart
Yeah they glowed right up
Then she walked in with that sideways smile
Shiny new shoes
Trouble in a pile
Said
โHey Ben
You remember me?โ
Vera felt the floor tilt under her feet
[Chorus]
That girl came through like a bad groove
Slid in slick
Made the room move
Now Ben and Vera donโt talk no more
Three hearts tangled on a kitchen floor
That girl walked in
Turned love to doubt
One wrong step and the lights went out
Ben and Vera used to sing in tune
Now itโs just one voice howlinโ at the moon (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
Late night texts on a cracked screen glow
โJust old friends
โ thatโs the lie he sold
Vera heard him laughing soft out back
Her name in the dark like a sneak attack
Lipstick stain on a thrift store tee
Wrong shade
Wrong place
Wrong memory
Ben said
โBaby
It ainโt what you thinkโ
But the truth showed up quicker than a blink
[Chorus]
That girl came through like a bad groove
Slid in slick
Made the room move
Now Ben and Vera donโt talk no more
Three hearts tangled on a kitchen floor
That girl walked in
Turned love to doubt
One wrong step and the lights went out
Ben and Vera used to sing in tune
Now itโs just one voice howlinโ at the moon (hey!)
[Bridge]
Vera packed jeans in a grocery bag
Left his key and her name on a paper tag
Ben just stared at the busted frame
Two faces
One fire
And a different flame
[Chorus]
That girl came through like a bad groove
Slid in slick
Made the room move
Now Ben and Vera donโt dance no more
Same old house
Brandโnew war
That girl walked in
Turned love to doubt
One wrong step and the lights went out
Ben and Vera used to sing in tune
Now itโs three lost notes in an empty room (oh yeah)
