“Girlfriend At the Time” is the second single from Emily Burns' first album, “Seven Scenes From the Same Summer”.
In a behind the song interview with ClashMusic, Burns explained what the song is about and what it means to her saying:
I wrote this song when I was in the super early stages of a new...
[Verse 1]
Call me crazy for running my mouth too much
But you know, lately, it's like I can't get enough
Got me interested, so invested, I've confessed it all
Maybe, we ain't gonna mess this up
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh ooh, too many exes, too many exes
Ooh ooh, tried and we tested
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna be your girlfriend at the time
I don't ever wanna be the girl you left behind
Don't wanna be the one that got away
Don't let me be another missed mistake
I don't ever wanna be your...
[Post-Chorus]
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your...
[Verse 2]
Old flame
So every time you drink that red, you remember my taste
As sweet as on the night we met
Scrolling through your memories, telling everybody that you know
My name, that I'm the one you can't forget
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh ooh, too many exes, too many exes
Ooh ooh, tried and we tested, yeah yeah
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna be your girlfriend at the time
I don't ever wanna be the girl you left behind
Don't wanna be the one that got away
Don't let me be another missed mistake
I don't ever wanna be your...
[Post-Chorus]
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your...
[Bridge]
Don't look back on regret
Wondering where we could be now
All these things in your head
It's so easy to freak out
I don't wanna be old news
Think that we've got a good thing
And all I know, all I know is
[Chorus]
I don't ever wanna be your girlfriend at the time
I don't ever wanna be the girl you left behind
Don't wanna be the one that got away
Don't let me be another missed mistake
I don't ever wanna be your...
[Outro]
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
(Oh I don't, I don't want to)
Never wanna be your, be your girlfriend at the time
I don't ever wanna be your, be your...
