I knew a guy, let's call him Jeff He had a wife that up and left
Last Thursday night, she saw his texts And she was mortified
It wasn't right, though he confessed That, just one time, he called his ex
She didn't buy it or accept when Jeff apologized Now he's all alone
* Something funny that I've learned Is just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (Out, out, out)
Something funny that I've found Is just how quickly worlds burn down
Make one wrong turn and you can't turn around ('Round, 'round, 'round)
One wrong turn can burn things to the ground
I knew a girl, let's call her Jess She took a drive to buy a dress
But missed the light as it turned red and ran into traffic
She took a right, if she turned left She'd be alive, would not be dead
She'd have arrived, but now, instead The end is tragic
( * )
But the thing you didn't see comin' Is that Jeff was Jess' husband
And the ex he had to call is no longer into boys at all It's all one big misunderstanding
Like dominos crash-landing Once the first one falls, they all come tumbling down
And now he's all alone
