Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know this me and you thing

Is a new thing

And I'd be lying if I said

This is what I was looking for

I kinda can't stop thinking

That leaving

Is the last thing I wanna be doing right now

For sure

[Verse 2]

Maybe I'll oversleep

And miss my flight

My alarm went off at 6:05

But I never heard it

Accidentally on purpose

Maybe I'll lay with you

Just like this

And give you one more goodbye kiss

It's just those three little words, dear

Accidentally on purpose

[Verse 3]

I never thought you'd call

So I guess it's your fault

I wasn't trying to fall

But you and my heart

Were making other plans

But here I am

Crazy about you

Not ready for a day without you

Here I am

Saying, what the hell

Wide awake telling myself

[Verse 4]

Maybe I'll oversleep

And miss my flight

My alarm went off at 6:05

But I never heard it

Accidentally on purpose

Maybe I'll lay with you

Just like this

And give you one more goodbye kiss

It's just those three little words, dear

Accidentally on purpose

[Verse 5]

What if I stayed

What would you say?

I know this me and you thing

Is a new thing

But leaving is the last thing

I wanna be doing right now

[Verse 6]

Maybe I'll oversleep

And miss my flight

My alarm went off at 6:05

I never, I never heard it

Accidentally on purpose

Maybe I'll lay with you

Just like this

And give you one more goodbye kiss

It's just those three little words, dear

Accidentally on purpose

[Verse 7]

What if I stayed

Accidentally on purpose
