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"
