[Verse 1]

We ripped a page from our books

And traded our chapters

I started to like the way we looked

And then you went running back to her

[Pre-Chorus]

It was sweet, it was brief

Hope she knows about me

I wish you both the best

I let you hit it raw, now we don't talk at all

But I have no regrets

[Chorus]

It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it

I don't care if we lost ourselves

It was fun while it lasted

Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot

I think it was pretty good character development

I think it was pretty good character development

[Verse 2]

You and I both know

We could never happen

So we walk the line between making you mine and mutually assured destruction

[Pre-Chorus]

Got so close on those nights

What a waste of my time

I'm your rest-stop between girlfriends

Got over my denial and I'm still on speed dial

So who's really winning in the end

[Chorus]

It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it

I don't care if we lost ourselves

It was fun while it lasted

Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot

I think it was pretty good character development

I think it was pretty good character development

[Bridge]

Just a stop between girlfriends

Lover til your "break" ends

The girl you tell them not to worry about in your bed

Kiss me, leave me for dead

I won't be offended, I had fun no regrets

(Thanks for the head I guess)

[Outro]

It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it

Yeah whether it ended well or not is irrelevant

Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot

I think it was pretty good character development

It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it

I don't care if we lost ourselves

It was fun while it lasted

Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot

I think it was pretty good character development
