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

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

We 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 timing's 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
