ride to melrose

my baby left me yesterday

packed her bags and went away

yeah. high heels on the carpet

took my keys and craved her name into my car seat. and that's the last one i let push me around

i've said it before but i mean it now

eh. get me out this city

i just need to clear my mind. we left this evening

give 'em twenty dollars for some gas in boston

grab a bite but now we're taking off

we're taking off

oh. when we got to melrose

fifteen nights of april

we just drank our sorrows

talked about the day we'll have it all

we'll have it all. one shot

one shot for my sorrows

oh yeah. power up the white noise

maybe i'll forget her deep into the morning. and right inside this yellow house

i'm reading cd's on the couch

but it's better than being stranded

nothing but myself in a studio apartment. we left this evening

give 'em twenty dollars for some gas in boston

grab a bite but now we're taking off

we're taking off

oh. when we got to melrose

fifteen nights of april

we just drank our sorrows

talked about the day we'll have it all

we'll have it all. i don't think i'm sleeping tonight

something 'bout my stomach doesn't feel right

what you left in my chest on the left side

where your he. nah

fuck it. time to take a drive. night skies got me feeling like bruce wing

'cept all i got is a pocket of loose change. head and heart got me thinking that i'm too strange. well maybe i'm different. word to two chainz

two lanes

drift grip the wood crane

lookin' at the exit signs

but it's your name. on some purple rain shit

feelin' like prince

gotta go and change my name chiz

same shit

ain't it?

yeah

i know i don't seem complacent

got enough on my chest but my heart's still vacant. and i can't take it

my love is unreciprocated

i've been through enough without ever gettin' the payment. but it's harder to heal than it is to endure

there's only so much that the liquor can cure

and all that liquor that's poured gave you a head of a tornado

of every memory that had you trippin' before. all that christian dior denim

louis vuitton leather

led em a late night

safe flight and good weather. ain't enough to make me feel better

ain't enough to make me forget all those nights in early december. i think i was dreamin'

but now i know i ain't been sleepin'. and some of these days

these feelings stoppin' me from eating

the pit of my stomach is heavy. i guess that's how it feels when you start to forget me. i apologize for not caring for myself

i've never known anything else than putting myself after everyone else

and that fucks me up

it's true. these late nights really are new

and there's so little i can do besides drive. lay awake think about where you layin' tonight

and fantasize about us living life in paradise

in a warm place where we never really have to die

but life ain't kind

we can't live fantasy

i just need to hear that you're maintaining sanity

cuz it's more important to me that you're doing alright

than the fact that i'm not sleepin' tonight.
