This song is about breaking up and the want to get back together after being broken up over and over again and how painful that can be.
[Verse 1]
You knew in five minutes
But I knew in a sentence
You knew in five minutes
But I knew in a sentence
[Hook]
So why do we go
Through all of this again
Your eyes are fluttering
Such pretty wings
A moth, flying into the
Same old flame again
It never ends
[Verse 2]
It's not like I dropped the bomb
On my conscience mom
It takes fightin' day and night
To make such a good thing die
Out, everyone out
I give too much shit at home
In my heart and mind
It gets me every time
[Hook]
