"character development" lyrics

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

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

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

You and I both know
We could never happen
So we walk the line between making you mine and mutually assured destruction

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

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

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)

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
