  • Yeah, yeah
    Ooh
    Oh
    Yeah

    I, I hope she makes you smile
    The way it made me smile
    On the other end of a phone
    In the middle of a highway driving alone

    Oh baby I
    I hope you hear a song
    That makes you sing along and gets you thinking 'bout her
    Then the last several miles turns into a blur, yeah

    I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
    I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night
    I hope you never ever felt more free
    Tell your friends that you're so happy
    I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
    I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
    I hope she's wilder than your wildest dreams
    She's everything you're ever gonna need
    And then I hope she cheats
    Like you did on me
    And then I hope she cheats
    Like you did on me

    Yeah babe, I hope he
    Shows up in a 2 AM pic from a friend
    Hangin' on to a girl to just rub it in
    I hope you stay up all night all alone waiting by the phone
    And then he calls
    And baby I
    I hope you work it out
    Forgive and just about forget
    Let him take you on a first date again
    And when you lean in for a kiss

    I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
    I hope you know he's the one by the end of the night
    I hope you never ever felt more free
    Tell your friends that you're so happy
    I hope he comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
    I hope he spends his last dime to put a rock on her hand
    I hope he's wilder than your wildest dreams
    He's everything you're ever gonna need
    And then I hope he cheats
    Like you did on me
    And then I hope he cheats
    Like you did on me

    I hope it goes, comes all the way around
    I hope she makes you feel the same way
    About her that I feel about you right now

    I hope you both feel the sparks by the end of the drive
    I hope you know she's the one by the end of the night
    I hope you never ever felt more free
    Tell your friends that you're so happy
    I hope she comes along and wrecks every one of your plans
    I hope you spend your last dime to put a rock on her hand
    I hope she's wilder than your wildest dreams
    She's everything you're ever gonna need
    And then I hope she cheats
    Like you did on me
    And then I hope she cheats
    Like you did on me
    Like you did on me Writer/s: Gabrielle Barrett, Jon Nite, Zachary Kale

  • Seventh Mist from 7th HeavenI wonder if this was inspired by Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" or Avril Lavigne's "Happy Ending."
