Lyrics

Remember our first apartment in LA down near Sunset and Vine
Yeah...the AC barely worked and the temperature never dropped below 89
Even though we were broke and our dinners consisted of garlic bread and wine
I still loved how you would dance and pretend the food was fine
You were San Monica and I was always little more Venice
But we would always pretend this city was ours to conquer, explore, and run amiss
And I miss you driving down Roscoe Boulevard cranking
St. Robinson in His Cadillac Dream
And you would scream
C'mon baby let's just get in the car and drive
Just get in the car and drive
Maxed-out cards and a half moon
Counting constellations on maps we never drew
Stars in our eyes, act out movie scenes
Crashing through LA in our worn-out jeans
It's a shame our film decayed
Like static ghosts I hate to chase, 'cause they lead to a girl I can't erase
She cries in the sand where your shadow stays
Now I gotta drive
Back then we were never afraid to say the all secret things we wanted
Sunday mornings waking up to the radio with our future together undaunted
And when we couldn't afford to buy those pretty flowers at the Balboa market
We painted a mural of Van Gogh's Sunflowers on the wall and spilled paint on the carpet
We would drive up Laurel Canyon to those parties in the Hollywood Hills
Pretend the we lived there and you'd wear that red dress with all the frills
You'd always be cornered by same polo-shirted guys we never recognized
From D-List reality TV shows that we'd never seen
And you would scream
C'mon baby let's just get in the car and drive
just get in the car and drive
Maxed-out cards and a half moon
Counting constellations on maps we never drew
Stars in our eyes, act out movie scenes
Crashing through LA in our worn-out jeans
It's a shame our film decayed
Like static ghosts I hate to chase, 'cause they lead to a girl I can't erase
She cries in the sand where your shadow stays
Now I gotta drive
Forward but stuck
(No more shotgun)
Reverse in the rear-view
Wondering how you are
You're probably just fine
Do you still jam out to Sonic Youth all the time
Like how we did sipping IPAs in the heat of Cali
And laughing cause my hairs all frizzy
Yet you still found me pretty
Would ya still call me "feral genius"
Looking like a poet who had a mid life crisis
Summoning coyotes again
What goofballs, worshiping burritos like saints
Alleluia we are not worthy
You know these stars still burn in my mind
Leaving scars shaped like the way you said your goodbye
A quiet ache I still carry
I have a new place in the Valley with an beautiful view of Rocky Peak
It's million miles away from that beach in Malibu when you last kissed me on the cheek
You were not ready for what happened and when you needed me I was just too weak
But I still can see the waves crashing over me as I sank to the deep
I still drive down Ventura Blvd to where the our record store used to be
Past undiscovered movie stars, broken down cars, and alleys where you set me free
As I watch our old balcony while sitting on the curb of our street
I keep hoping that for one last time you will drive by and we will meet
And you will say
C'mon baby let's just get in the car and drive
just get in the car and drive
(C'mon baby let's just get in the car and drive
just get in the car and drive)
