One Night Stand

He was the same as I remembered him
Back when we were younger
He stole my breath the moment
We locked eyes across the room

Stayed up all night until the morning caught me
Bitching about the patriarchy
And I played coy to see how high he'd trace my inner thigh

I know he only wants a one night stand
But I'm wishing he would be my man
I know he said it wouldn't work out and I believed it then
But now it's different
He wants a one night stand
I want a life full of nights with him

Well I was shy but I was drinking wine
And we were inching towards closing time
Catching up on all them lost years
Of anxiety attacks

He pulled me from my barstool
A little tipsy
With the radio blaring Fist City
Lead me parking lot with his palm atop
The small of my back

And he was singing along to that Loretta Lynn song

I know he only wants a one night stand
But I'm wishing he would be my man
I know he said it wouldn't work out and I believed it then
But now it's different
He wants a one night stand
I want a life full of nights with him

And maybe I'm a little bit naive, baby
But I been ruminating on the ways love has saved me
And when I'm waking in his arms in the morning
Disarmed by the need for him that's forming

Now we're sitting on the front porch with coffee
He's got a touch of cream but I drink mine black
And when I take his hand in mine, he don't stop me
Cause when the timings right you take it in and don't look back

He got a one night stand
I got a life full of nights with him

I got a life full of nights with him
