[Verse 1]
This is a rotten game we play, isn’t it
Different, those hard to form sentences
Don’t mention it, existentialist
Crises, wondering where this life leads
Calling girls wifey, at the first sight scene
Wonder what that might mean
A libra a pisces, go when the lights green
Cuz when that light beams, across the bay
I just want you to stay, I just want you say
All the correct words, adjective nouns and verbs
I know it sounds absurd, cuz it was all a blur
From the beginning, felt like something was missing
Still trying to recapture a factor that I left in the past
Still trying to play god with some façade just to get you back
I’ll miss you with that, something I still don’t have a hold on
Cuz now we’re not so young, it’s about time to go on
[Hook]
It was just a dream, it was just a dream, it was
It was just a dream, it was just a dream, because
When things seem too good to be true, they are
Pack your things, time to leave, and get in the car
[Verse 2]
We used to take trips in your yellow Honda Civic
When you have nothing, it becomes easier to risk it
So we’d get in that car, same color as lines we’d never cross
Never go left of center, that’s what we was taught
But when you left this place, you went with little warning
Never would’ve guessed, you would leave before me
With one less person to support me, I’m in need of some backing
When you chat me, fuck it, I’m happy, you happy
There’s no place you’d rather be, but where does that leave me
It’s only been a couple of months? Time can be deceiving
Not that I’m grieving, not at all, I’m proud of you
You took a huge risk, and it went and made a man out of you
So you’ve inspired what I’m about to do, without a clue
Hit the same roads we’d go, in your yellow car
Just go far, to a new start and never return
And everything was beautiful and nothing ever hurt
