Billboards

There's a sign on the road and it flashes red

It's the halfway point between me and your bed

And it baits me like a carrot hanging over my head

There's always a cop car at those lights

So I slow-ride down in the dead of the night

Scared they know that I'm going back to the scene of the crime

I paid in full, broke the machine

To put it up on a billboard screen

I can't advertise enough how much you mean to me

I'm not sure how else to show you

Grab your face and pull you close

You kiss me back, then you don't return my calls

(Don't return my calls)

I don't wanna make a scene

But I need you, crave you, want you, please

I give so much and get nothing back at all

(Don't return my calls)

I discovered you in a mysterious way

Just like a big city, we weren't built in a day

And it breaks me that you're not happy with the cards you played

I sold my soul, I scrubbed it clean

To put it up on a billboard screen

I can't advertise enough how much you mean to me

I'm not sure how else to show you

Grab your face and pull you close

You kiss me back, then you don't return my calls

(Don't return my calls)

I don't wanna make a scene

But I need you, crave you, want you, please

I give so much and get nothing back at all

(Nothing back, nothing back at all)

I love you, you don't wanna

I love you, you can't stomach it

But you wait outside my door

Like a dog with a taste for more

Then you spit me out like bubble gum

And I stick to your shoe 'cause I'm not done

And I patiently wait for a sign

'Cause I'm yours, but you're not mine

I'm not sure how else to show you

Grab your face and pull you close

You kiss me back, then you don't return my calls

(Don't return my calls)

I don't wanna make a scene

But I need you, crave you, want you, please

I give so much and get nothing back at all

(I don't know how to show you, I can't control you)
