dollar store drinks

You looked so lovely in the back of my car
Changing into
That lavender dress and open toed shoes
I was hard to impress
That's when you came thru
And said "baby, I don't dress for you"

And we danced through the night
And stayed out past two
And we hid from the cops
Like teenagers do
There's some things I won't forget
And my only proof
Is every cigarette still smells like you

And we both know it's true
I'm stumbling after you
And Jesus, it's hard composing these bars
Acting like any of it is new

We threw our shit into a hatchback sedan
And drove up the coast
All the mountains were singing like the heavenly hosts
And the ocean and sky drew a perfect straight line
Dividing the rest of our time

And we both know it's true
I'm stumbling after you
And Jesus, it's hard composing these bars
Acting like any of it is new
And thanks to you
I now know what I never knew
That distance is hard, but reality is harder
And with every mistake with you, I felt renewed

It's just like they said, my tears dried over time
But they all failed to mention the screams in the night
That still rip out my throat, and I wake with a cough
Every morning these days and it doesn't wear off
Oh, do you still get goosebumps when you look at the stars
And do you still name them as if they were ours

I've been starting to think we weren't meant to last
We're like dollar store drinks in brown paper bags
So get me wasted as quick as you possibly can
And we'll scratch out that part of the plan
