[Verse 1]
From the hot strobe lights and the spiked punch bliss
And the long walks home in the dark we'll miss
Nobody teaches you how to reminisce
Nobody teaches you to hurt like this

[Chorus]
Then we slide into the arms of someone else
Yeah, we slide into the arms of someone else

[Verse 2]
No more coked up, broke, nocturnal kids
Was that ever even us? Do we know what we missed?
Nobody teaches you how to win big
Nobody said there's no reverse on this

[Chorus]
Then we slide into the arms of someone else
Yeah, we slide into the arms of someone else
In disguise, we get a little better at controlling ourselves around midnight
Then we slide into the arms of someone else

[Bridge]
Nobody wants to, nobody wants to
Nobody wants to, nobody wants to
Nobody wants to wake up alone
