Day drinking in Paris
Riding the ferris wheel
A tiny town in Ontario
Van Gogh would have loved
The colours in your hair
They sparkled like a rainbow
You drove a 59 caddy
That was dripping rust
Like fingers on a willow tree
You lived for the ride
And I liked you too much
You were so much wilder than me
Oh hey here we go
I want to but I can't say no
Oh hey oh hey I know
I want to but I can't let go
You had marks on your arms
From all of the harm you did
To yourself at sixteen
So many tattoos
In so many hues
All screaming too bad to keep
I drove through the line
Cause the bottom line was
You were the one for me
I was holding on
Before you were gone
Felt too good to let it be
Oh hey here we go
I want to but I can't say no
Oh hey oh hey I know
I want to but I can't let go
Some nights I count stars
As I smoke in my car
By the road that used to be the way
It helps me forget
What you felt like
Been two years and 13 days
Last week
You sent a me postcard
You signed your name with great big a heart
Left me lonely and sad
Rock bottom bad
I'm trying but I can't get started
Oh hey here we go
I want to but I can't say no
Oh hey oh hey I know
I want to but I can't let go
