[Verse 1]
Could've said this day was coming
See your name light up my phone
You're having revelations
Wish you never let me go
And you say that you miss me (I'm sure that you miss me)
Funny how you think you're such a mystery
Say you gotta tell me something face to face
[Pre-Chorus]
I know I shouldn't do it, but I'm gonna do it
See exactly where I shouldn't go, I'm running to it
I been trying out the high road and I hate it
I got a lot of sins, but you're my favorite
[Chorus]
Baby, you're a bad idea, but I could do a few more years
I got a little left in here, funny how you reappear
In the nick of time
I guess it didn't die, can't say wе didn't try
Baby, we're a bad idea
Fuck it, lеt's do it again
[Verse 2]
You'll pick somewhere that's private
Where you and I can really speak
Go ahead and tell me something
That you learned in therapy
And it's almost convincing (It's almost convincing)
But I've been known to go against my instincts
And I know you're performing, but it's working for me
We can talk about it in the morning
[Chorus]
Baby, you're a bad idea, but I could do a few more years
I got a little left in here, funny how you reappear
In the nick of time
I guess it didn't die, can't say we didn't try
Baby, we're a bad idea
Fuck it, let's do it again
[Bridge]
Bottom line, we made it out the first time
Still in love and half-alive
We didn't die, but no guarantees this time, we might
Alright, fuck it, let's do it again
[Chorus]
Baby, you're a bad idea, but I could do a few more years (Shh)
I got a little left in here, funny how you reappear
In the nick of time
I guess it didn't die, can't say we didn't try
Baby, we're a bad idea
Fuck it, let's do it again

I was in a good place and suddenly I had a text from somebody who was the last person I was expecting to get a text from. You know, it’s that moment, it’s like that moment in the book where it’s like suddenly someone reappears, and I was like “no way”. And I’m like immediately texting all my friends...
