I try not to look when I drive past your house
In hopes I’ll forget what it looked like
Or the cold touch of the countertop
Where I’d perch to see you eye to eye
If I could find another space that felt the same
I’d pretend it was never there in the first place
The glove compartment hasn’t opened in a while
I forget what could be inside
Probably not much more than the paper that clеaned up
The coffee you spilled on thе passenger side
If it didn’t tint the fabric such a dark shade
I’d pretend it was never there in the first place
And I get it up I get it all out of the way
Try not to act stunned when I think I see your face
But every body without yours is just a torso all the same
Pick myself up just to watch them walk away
Did you notice that they cut down all the trees?
By the ravine just to put up more concrete
And it’d be a good excuse to call you up and ask what’s new
But I know it’s a disguise you’d see right through
And I get it up I get it all out of the way
Try not to act stunned when I think I hear your name
But every voice that isn’t yours speaks the words all the same
Pick myself up just to hear them fade away
Pick myself up watch them all walk away
In hopes I’ll forget what it looked like
Or the cold touch of the countertop
Where I’d perch to see you eye to eye
If I could find another space that felt the same
I’d pretend it was never there in the first place
The glove compartment hasn’t opened in a while
I forget what could be inside
Probably not much more than the paper that clеaned up
The coffee you spilled on thе passenger side
If it didn’t tint the fabric such a dark shade
I’d pretend it was never there in the first place
And I get it up I get it all out of the way
Try not to act stunned when I think I see your face
But every body without yours is just a torso all the same
Pick myself up just to watch them walk away
Did you notice that they cut down all the trees?
By the ravine just to put up more concrete
And it’d be a good excuse to call you up and ask what’s new
But I know it’s a disguise you’d see right through
And I get it up I get it all out of the way
Try not to act stunned when I think I hear your name
But every voice that isn’t yours speaks the words all the same
Pick myself up just to hear them fade away
Pick myself up watch them all walk away
