Lyrics

Making small talk to avoid a fight
Now I'm takin' in the sites like a Frank Lloyd Wright
Hugging every turn, flirting with the curb, now you're
Shrugging off the burn of my dirty little words, well
I first tried a manual drive on the freeway
Like, love isn't gonna be easy
And
It's not the opposite of free either, baby
Shoving all the clutter underneath the seat
Just to make some space for my feet
Maybe that was easy
But that was good enough for me
But you walked out the door with a suitcase (classic)
Blamed all your pain on the Birmingham traffic
How does it feel, once you've won that race
Just to watch your world explode from space, huh?
Sweating in the shop, waiting for the day we can unite
And you'd tell off your boss, but you wanna do it right
Bottle up your tears
Wishing that the years had treated you right
I first tried a manual drive on the freeway
Love isn't gonna be easy and
It's never gonna let you free either, baby
Shoving all the clutter underneath the seat
Just to make some space for me
Maybe you were lying
But I still believed
I did
I did
Neither one of us can do it on our own
All the softness just turns into stone
And the other girls, they had their stories straight
Now, they're taking turns breakin' my face
Well, I knew it wasn't me
I never was one to disagree and
You might have scared me
And I scared you too
Ultimately, it felt like a relief
Ohh-ohh-ohh-ohh
Mmmm
I can see it now
I can see it now
I can see it now
I first tried a manual drive on the freeway
Like, love isn't gonna be easy, but it's the easiest thing ever, baby!
Shoving all the clutter underneath the seat, just to make some space for me
Maybe that was easy, but that was good enough for me
