lyrics
Picturing you in my mind
Is not gonna help
While I try to
Try to forget you
You’re holding someone else’s hand
Oh no just stop
Make a U-turn
Or else I might burn
So I’ll stage a getaway
Pretend that I’m not home
I’m learning to be alone
When I forget how much we fought
I’ll change the station in my thoughts
We didn’t break down
We were just living in two different towns
So I’m changing lanes
We go out together as friends
Every inch feels like a mile away
When I can’t touch your face
Warmth like a fireplace
Still radiates
You’re my one thrill
Together we’re buzz kill
So I’ll stage a getaway
Pretend that I’m not home
I’m learning to be alone
When I forget how much we fought
I’ll change the station in my thoughts
We didn’t break down
We were just living in two different towns
You and my imagination always get away
I’ll run nightly patrols in all the back roads of my brain
So you stay over there
And I’ll stay over here
I wish you well but I don’t think I’ll see you for a year
There go my tail lights
Fading into the night
I’m not home
You’re not home
So I’ll stage a getaway
Pretend that I’m not home
I’m learning to be alone
When I forget how much we fought
I’ll change the station in my thoughts
We didn’t break down
We were just living in two different towns
