[Verse 1]
The moon is Dhigh
Like your friends were the night that we first Dmet
Went home and tried to stalk you on Dthe AinterBmnet
Now I've read all of the books beside your Abed
The wine is Dcold
Like the shoulder that I gave you in the Dstreet
Cat and mouse for a month or Dtwo Aor Bmthree
Now I wake up in the night and watch you Abreathe
[Pre-Chorus 1]
(DAy!) Kiss me once 'cause you know I had a long night
(DOh!) Kiss me twice 'cause it's gonna be DalAright

To the color that we painted your brother's wall
Honey, without all the exes, fights Aand Bmflaws
We wouldn't be standing here so Atall, so
