I took a walk for the very first time
On the dark side of the dance floor
Lit a match just to heat things up
But I got more than I bargained for

Mixed drinks, mixed feelings of elation
I should have known it was a one-night invitation

Don't sweat it
Forget it
Everything is a-okay
Just let it
Go then it's
Off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it
It's over now
Our time ran out

I took an oath
But I'm giving it up
You didn't have to see things my way
Nothing more than a casual fuck
Isn't that just how we operate?

Let's drink to feelings of temptation
You and I, we're an overnight sensation

Don't sweat it
Forget it
Everything is a-okay
Just let it
Go then it's
Off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
I walk around with your heart on my sleeve
Don't sweat it
It's over now
Our time ran

Outside, the brake light's started to dim
I feel the tension that's been pulling us in
And then we do it again
So we can feel all right
Falling in love for the night

Don't sweat it
Forget it
Everything is a-okay
Just let it
Go then it's
Off to find another face
I'll make you come just to watch you leave
You walk around with my heart on your sleeve
Don't sweat it
It's over now
Our time ran out
Our time ran out
Our time ran out
Our time ran out
Our time ran out

    General Comment:OK for all the little bitches out there about them changing their music and everything, don't you think they would want to experiment with other types besides the same ones?
    And they aren't doing music for just their fans, they're doing it because they love music.

    Does an artist paint the same thing over and over?
    Do florists grow the same flower forever?
    Then why should bands play the same type of music over and over?

    And just because you're 13 and listen to them doesn't mean that you only care about how they look.

    This band is awesome, it's just a bonus of how they look.

    General Comment:The beginning sounds like What Do You Want From Me? by Forever the Sickest Kids. However, still a good song.

    General Comment:The kids complaining about the kids who complain about the new album are just as annoying.

    This album ain't no The Party Scene, but it's catchy and that's fine.

    Oh, and this song is obviously about a one night stand at a party.

    My Opinion:ok i'm an ATL fan just like everyone else here.
    but i'm seriously starting to get sick and tired of hearing other fans going on and on about how "their music sucks now" "they're not the same ATL" STFU, seriously.
    they're are still the same 4 guys we fell "in love" with.
    they are POP-PUNK! get that through your skull.
    i'm tired of people saying "they dont sound the same."
    if you were a real ATL fan you would stop bashing them!
    please just do us all a favor and just stop, okay?
    i dont mean to sound like a bitch, but i really am just done with stupid, arrogant people.
    all their music is fun, catchy, and easy to understand.
    their all about having fun and being young and free!
    so please just stop.
    thanks and the song is about a one night stand.
