When I woke up today
I got your message on my phone
You said "I had fun"
"Did you ever make it home?"
I tried to read between the lines
Oh yeah, I’m doing fine
Feels like my head is made of moonshine
And cheap-ass wine
My best friend told me I should just stop looking for a sign
Babe
So okay
You told me it was just a one time thing
A spark on gasoline
So what could I say?
If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were mean
Then in a couple of days
I get this photograph of you

If you tell me it don’t mean a thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were like a machine
And so damn mean
My mind’s falling to pieces every time I try to jump up
On this trampoline
Why don’t you tell me what you mean?

Why won’t you tell me I was just your mistake?
How long can this take?
How many sleepless nights can I go over every second
While I’m lying awake?
Babe
So okay
If this is really just a one time thing
I think I’ve lost something
What else can I say?
I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
Somebody told me I should stay away
But I can’t help it I want one more thing
Silence is deafening
I can’t put you away
And I don’t blame you for a single thing, yeah
Somebody told me you were mean
The Airborne Toxic Event released One Time Thing on Tue Feb 24 2015.
On the band’s website’s “White Noise” section, Mikel Jollett wrote about the background behind the song:
This song developed out of two situations: one of which happened to a good friend and one of which happened to me. I love how he’s quite playful in his insouciance about the fling, while acknowl...
