[Verse 1]
We ripped a page from our books
And traded our chapters
I started to like the way we looked
And then you went running back to her

[Pre-Chorus]
It was sweet, it was brief
Hope she knows about me
I wish you both the best
I let you hit it raw, now we don't talk at all
But I have no regrets

[Chorus]
It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it
I don't care if we lost ourselves
It was fun while it lasted
Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot
I think it was pretty good character development
I think it was pretty good character development

[Verse 2]
You and I both know
We could never happen
So we walk the line between making you mine and mutually assured destruction
[Pre-Chorus]
Got so close on those nights
What a waste of my time
I'm your rest-stop between girlfriends
Got over my denial and I'm still on speed dial
So who's really winning in the end

[Chorus]
It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it
I don't care if we lost ourselves
It was fun while it lasted
Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot
I think it was pretty good character development
I think it was pretty good character development

[Bridge]
Just a stop between girlfriends
Lover til your "break" ends
The girl you tell them not to worry about in your bed
Kiss me, leave me for dead
I won't be offended, I had fun no regrets
(Thanks for the head I guess)

[Outro]
It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it
Yeah whether it ended well or not is irrelevant
Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot
I think it was pretty good character development
It was seven seconds in heaven for the hell of it
I don't care if we lost ourselves
It was fun while it lasted
Whether you knew or not, if you learned or forgot
I think it was pretty good character development
