Behind a Mercedes (Intro) - Live

Drenched in golden sunshine, I rise up from my bed
The smell of fresh roast coffee and bird song fill my head
I saw a dolphin in the clouds, I saw blue butterflies below
With girlish laughter, I back my car out, and I go

Then I drive behind a Mercedes, a reminder that you're gone
Then I drive behind a Mercedes, and I ask myself, "Was he the one?"
Mindfulness and miracles can take my breath away
But when your SUV's in front of me, silver fades to gray

In the days after you left me, I wanted back my shine
Trying to recover, I unfriended you online
Not 'cause I was mad, but 'cause it hurt to see your photos
So I delete you, I forget you, and I glow

Till I drive behind a Mercedes, and remember that you're gone
Till I drive behind a Mercedes, and I ask myself, "Was he the one?"
Mindfulness and miracles can take my breath away
But when your SUV's in front of me, silver fades to gray

Just when I'd begun to think my happiness would last
It jerks me from the present, reminds me of the past
The week we drove to Mendocino, wrote our names in purple beach glass
We built a rope swing, saw the redwoods, caught a bass

Then I drive behind a Mercedes, a reminder that you're gone
Then I drive behind a Mercedes, and I ask myself, "Was he the one?"
Mindfulness and miracles can take my breath away
But when your SUV's in front of me, silver fades to gray

No more sunny days
Why did it have to be this way?
Most of the time I feel like I'm okay
But when your SUV's in front of me, everything looks gray
