Lyrics

I sorta fell in love by the end of Friday night
Tucked in a blanket while your truck collected snow
It wasn’t really love but it sure as shit felt right
One of those moments where it clicks and you just know

We leaed in close while the wolves and deer all watched
Grabbing cheese and figs until the meter had run out
And I could’ve sworn that in between our nervous laughs
I could feel what all this effort had been about

Maybe I should’ve been excited
Or maybe I should’ve just kept quiet
But I don’t know
I don’t know
I’ll never know

So we traded questions like a ping pong back and forth
I was a pizza, and you were smoothie in a jar
We were explorers both just trying to find due north
In the mountains where our wheels could reach the stars

And maybe I should’ve been excited
Or maybe I should’ve just kept quiet
But I don’t know
I don’t know
I’ll never know

Cause you were whiplash
I kinda hoped you’d last
I kinda thought that maybe for a second I had learned from all my past mistakes
But instead I just let my lil little heart get whisked away
And maybe that’s ok

By Tuesday morning you decided you were done
After taking one long ride to clear your head
And I could’ve pinpointed the moment you had turned
As I watched you sigh and sit down on your bed

That you were whiplash
I kinda hoped you’d last
I kinda thought that maybe for a second I had learned from all my past mistakes
But instead I just let my lil heart get whisked away
And maybe that’s ok
Maybe that’s ok
Maybe that’s ok

But now I’m forced to choose between two sides of me
Where one is soft but weak and the other stands her ground
but feels like she’s just drowning in thick skin
Till it all begins again
I’ll try again but until then

You were whiplash
I kinda hoped you’d last
I kinda thought that maybe for a second I had learned from all my past mistakes
But instead I just let my squishy heart get whisked away
And maybe that’s ok
Maybe that’s ok
