[Lyric] I am the Lonely Letter I and the World is My Pixar Lamp (The Bureau of Motor Vehicles)

I still remember each minute of it all
Your dad's new Chevy and some guy from Montreal

We spent each day that year searching for something
To give our little lives some value and mask up all your pain

I never thought you would have treated me that way
When we stopped for gas in that white trash town outside of Santa Fe

I spilled my guts and you started yelling back at me
And not a moment later, you were gone despite my every plea


[Chorus]
We- started a fire
Our- tiny empire
You- will never find
That peace you wanted with me left behind

Those dreams we shared before, were they always fake?
One bad motel nights sleep later, All I feel is ache
Each day followed me like a shadowy ghost
But seeing you again is what I still dread the most


[Chorus]
We- started a fire
Our- tiny empire
You- will never find
That peace you wanted with me left behind


I don’t wanna see you come back around, back around
I don’t wanna hear you come back around, back around
I don’t wanna see you come back around, back around
I can’t keep my feet… on the ground!

[Chorus]
We- started a fire
Our- tiny empire
You- will never find
That peace you wanted with me left behind

[Outro]
I- wanna know if you ever even made it to the coast
I- wanna know if you ever received any of my notes
I- wanna say I'm sorry for what I said that day
I- just wanna say I didn't mean for things to end this way
