SHORT-TERM CONCERN Bubblegum Burn

(Verse 1) The daisies started popping when you took me by the hand Building sandcastles, turns out they’re made of sand You called me your golden sunshine, thought it was a sign Not just a cheesy, recycled pickup line I ignored the “glitch” of your six-foot-two physique We’re eye-to-eye in flip-flops, your math is pretty weak The sun was out, the vibe was high, I liked your stupid car The cutest couple ever... if you’re looking from afar (Chorus) Oh, I’m taking you back, did I mention where and when? Back to the drawing board for a better class of men Back to get a refund, receipt in my hand I’m over the soulmate thing we never even planned Missed the red flags at every single turn Guess forever was a short-term concern (Verse 2) The leaves got crunchy and the sky turned to slate Suddenly you’re busy every time we have a date Those deep, soulful stares? I thought they were fate Just your brain cells buffering at a dial-up kinda rate A ninja of the narrative, a phantom of the night Keeping all your secrets tucked way out of sight What I thought was rhythm and soul in our feet Was just you dodging questions while dancing in the street (Bridge) Yeah, I missed the forest for the trees Thought you said, "I love you," but you just had to sneeze A master of fiction, a hero in your head I’m ghosting the story, going home instead (Chorus) Oh, I’m taking you back, did I mention where and when? Back to the drawing board for a better class of men Back to get a refund, receipt in my hand I’m over the soulmate thing we never even planned Missed the red flags at every single turn Guess forever was a short-term concern (Outro) Yeah, check the return policy No store credit needed Honestly? I'm just here for the parking spot
