Practical

Call it instinct, but I think she's gone for good this time
'Cause every time she's left she leaves her toothbrush behind
It just now dawned on me
I was thinking of us, and there it was
I bent down to pick up the trash off the waste basket and saw the worn down bristles of a toothbrush

And this could be the best thing for you and me
I don't know, it just feels like it
I know we swore no strings attached
But that was before we realized it

And it's like you said
You should learn to be a little less emotional
And instead, we could be more practical
And I bet you thought I was gullible
When you said,
Let's not take this personal

And everyone said watch your step unless you like the tightrope
But falling's the best part regardless of how hard it is
Who needs a net?
Hoping no one gets hurt playing with fire
But somehow somebody always gets burnt
It's a small price to pay just to play with the flames
That's why I never listened

And this could be the best thing for you and me
I don't know it just feels like it
I know we swore no strings attached
But that was before we realized it

But It's like you said
You should learn to be a little less emotional
And instead, we could be more practical
And I bet you thought I was gullible
When you said
let's not take this personal...
