97 Avalon

See, I was driving down Woodward with you in the passenger seat

Doing fifty in my ′97 Avalon

And as we drove past the Dutch Girl Donuts and the dispensary

You looked at me and said

That your dad's been depressed

"Can we change this CD?" you said

"Something a little more soulful"

I changed it and you said you heard my last EP

You kinda liked it

But you thought it did not sound like me

But the car is gone and we both left town

But I got this funny feeling with me now

We′ll ride it again somehow, ooh

So I was speeding up 11 with you sitting next to me

Sipping Bailey's from that Colorado coffee cup

And then we turned past the teahouse

From there, I read your poetry

And you looked at me and said

That you miss your college bed

Well, ain't this fine to see

You reminiscing as if I was the one who said no

This feeling ain′t rooted in reality

And then you said, "Step on it"

And that′s the last thing you ever said to me

But the car is gone and we both left home

But I got this funny feeling in my bones

We'll ride it again before you go

So it was summer, maybe winter, can′t remember

I couldn't see out the window of our ′97 Avalon

See, it's been months since they said it made it on 75, you see

And on the phone before the crash

You said you loved me, but you can′t

And you see, you think if you say it enough times aloud

You'll start to believe it, but I've got no idea now

And I′m, and I′m sitting in some café

All caught up about something I can't change

And I′m sipping that tea and my memory renews

And all of a sudden, I'm on the road sitting next to you

(You said our love is a fixer-upper

Nееdѕ nеw раіnt tо hіdе thе nісkѕ

Кеер іt іn ѕесоnd gеаr tо ѕtаrt

Аnd drіvе іt ѕlоw whеn thе rоаd іѕ ѕlісk

Ѕtееr сlеаr оf thе hіghwау

Аnd mауbе оnе mоrе ѕummеr іt’ll lаѕt

Yеѕ mауbе оnе mоrе ѕummеr

Wе саn bе уоung аnd drіvе іt fаѕt)

But ooh, the car is gone and we both left town

But I got this funny feeling with me now (Oh yeah, woo)
