LYRICS:
driving down the back roads
begging him to go slow
i don't want this to end

leaning from the passenger
give him what he’s asking for
did you know you’re my best friend?

how is it a year later i’m struggling to feel anything inside?

hold my hair with one hand
listenin’ to your friend’s band
i think i made you up

melt into your carpet
i think that’s where my heart went
to this day it’s beating under your rug

i don’t think i'll ever feel again; did you know that you’re my best friend?

someday i’ll be of age
i hope that i'll have changed
what would you think of me?

if somebody said hello
so i took them to your show
would you watch me dance while you sing?

i’ll always forgive, but i never forget
the feeling of being a means to an end
And i’ll carry it with me like a bag at my side
but i'll love you forever, and i never tell lies

you’re laying prostrate
you never have much to say
i’m living in deja vu

so i’ll talk where it hurts
and at least my mouth works
when i’m pulling my weight off you

i find it hard to believe there is someone else out there for me.

someday i’ll be of age
i hope that i’ll have changed
what would you think of me?

if someone told you a joke
would you take them to my show
kiss standing in the nosebleeds?

cuz i'd always spot you from the rest of the crowd.
as i’m closing it out, i hope that i make you proud.

driving down the backroads
hands on the wheel, i drive slow
i look both ways and brake around bends

i wish you were next to me
but leather’s where your leg should be
you’ll always be my best friend.
