I read the pages about me

In her autobiography
                          
They were brief and to the point
 & 
A flash, while you are getting dressed

A memory that needs to be repressed
                         
I'll just wait until it's over



 & 
Since you've gone away
                       
I never know just what to say
 & 
Since you've gone away
                       
I never know just what to say




Cause I like cars more than telephones
           
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
            
Tonight I'm gonna drive

The silver moon is shining bright
         
Over the interstate

God saying hurry don't be late
         
Soon the sun will rise

That's when the romance dies
             
And I'm just tired of running around



 & 
I walked to get the mail today

I guess your letter never came
		      
I'll just check again tomorrow
 & 
A flash while you are getting dressed

A Memory that needs to be repressed
				
I'll just wait without saying a word



 & 
Since you've gone away
                       
I never know just what to say
 & 
Since you've gone away
                       
I never know just what to say




Cause I like cars more than telephones
           
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
            
Tonight I'm gonna drive

The silver moon is shining bright
         
Over the interstate

God saying hurry don't be late
         
Soon the sun will rise

That's when the romance dies
                                     /          /G
And I'm just tired of running around



                      
But fuck it I love you even if

I'm gonna feel like shit
              
By the time I get to you

Now the sky is turning blue
               
The stars they disappear

One by one as the daylights nears
               
And yes you're in my head

But that doesn't make you here
              
And I've lost all my friends

But you're the one I miss the most
            
And now I'm almost there

Yeah I'm almost to the coast
    
And if I had any notion
                 
Of how I'm gonna drive my car across

the Atlantic Ocean, 
       
I'd be fucking set.
