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
