Threnody To The Car Crash Hearts Lyrics

[Chorus]
I give up, I surrender
I'm still stuck in that September
I could draw the way you looked
But what you said, I can't remember
We were killing daisies
The payback's crazy
You said you'd come home soon
I'm still waiting

[Verse 1]
I've seen this sunset before
If I stayed longer
Then this would be forced
Close up my windows and doors
There's cars down my street
They sound so much like yours

[Chorus]
I give up, I surrender
I'm still stuck in that September
I could draw the way you looked
But what you said, I can't remember
We were killing daisies
The payback's crazy
You said you'd come home soon
I'm still waiting [Verse 2]
I redid my place like it's yours
So if you came through town
When you stopped by you're warm
My eyes have aged, tired and worn
But I'd live the same
Even if I was warned

[Bridge]
I wrote you this song but I doubt you'll ever hear it
You walk past couture and treat the windows like they're mirrors
From inside the store, it seems like I got ignored
But you weren't looking past the door
To be down
I can show you what it's like to be down

[Outro]
To be down
To be down
To be down
To be down

So long live the car crash hearts
Cry on the couch and let the poets come to life
Fix me in forty-five
