*you got a fast car i want a ticket to anywhere maybe we can make a deal maybe together we can get somewhere anyplace is better starting from zero got nothing to lose maybe we'll make somethin me myself i got nothin to prove* i've been wondering when it stops people say it stops when you want it to but how do i tell that to my dreams when all i can think about is running up to kiss you in the parking lot of anywhere it makes me wanna drink and say everything like sometimes i think about what it would've been like if i had let you go when i was still strong enough to do it like i never knew hell had such a pretty voice like i tried to make it all day without saying "wish you were here" like lately i've been going back to all the places we've been to see what it's like without you it is the worst game of hide & seek every time i close my eyes to count you just go home i seem to only wear my seat belt on days you call on days you're all never been better and i just wanna tell you how much I hate window shopping and daylight goodbyes you just sit there when you could say anything you could tell me you noticed i started drinking again you could even make it up you could say you miss me, too you could say you missed me so much that the other day you accidentally bought two coffees instead of one you could tell me how you've been without me that you sleep so much better these days without having to worry you can say what you have to just don't say leaving was like shooting fish in a barrel cause i swear i'm nostalgic for things i pretended were real and i swear i don't want a seance until there's something worth bringing back take me back to all the places i tried to love you back to a time where i knew my name without you having to say it *you got a fast car is it fast enough so we can fly away you gotta make a decision leave tonight or live & this way*
