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
Just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (out, out, out)
Something funny that I´ve found
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

Something funny that I´ve learned
Just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (out, out, out)
Something funny that I´ve found
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

But the thing you didn´t see comin´
Is that Jeff was Jess´s 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

Something funny that I´ve learned
Just how quickly fate can turn
How one simple mistake can take you out (out, out, out)
Something funny that I´ve found
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
