Ruin The Friendship - My Advice Version

Glistening grass from September rain

Gray overpass full of neon names

And you drive

Eighty-five

Gallatin Road and the Lakeside Beach

Watching the game from your brother's Jeep

And your smile

Is miles wide

And it was not an invitation

Should’ve kissed you anyway

Should've kissed you anyway

And it was not convenient, no

But your girlfriend was away

Should've kissed you anyway

Shiny wood floors underneath my feet

Disco ball makes everything look cheap

Have fun

It’s prom

Wilted corsage dangles from my wrist

Over his shoulder, I catch a glimpse

And see (Mm, mm)

You looking at me

And it was not an invitation

But as the 50 Cent song played

Should've kissed you anyway

And it was not convenient, no

Would've been the best mistake

Should've kissed you anyway, hey

Don't make it awkward in second period

Might piss your ex off, lately, we've been good

Staying friends is safe, doesn't mean you should

Don't make it awkward in second period

Might piss your ex off, lately, we’ve been good

Staying friends is safe, doesn’t mean you should

When I left school, I lost track of you

Abigail called me with the bad news

Goodbye

And we'll never know why

It was not an invitation

But I flew home anyway

With so much left to say

And it was not convenient, no

But I whispered at the grave

"Should’ve kissed you anyway"

And it was not (It was not) an invitation (Invitation)

Should've kissed you anyway (Anyway)

Should've kissed you anyway, anyway

And it was not

My advice is to always ruin the friendship

Better that than regret it for all time

And my advice is to always answer the question

Better that than to ask it all your life

Should've kissed you anyway

Should’ve kissed you anyway
