Downtown

I know you wanna drive downtown But I wanna stay home I know you wanna run outside But it's better me for inside Somewhere where I can hide Dancing to songs that remind me of good times Isn't it funny That I'm happier by myself I guess that I'm by myself I know you like the city lights The smell of gasoline on sight The way my hair blows in wind The way our hands are intertwined I know But I don't want that no more I should've told you before Before Before, before, before Before, before, before Before, before, before before Before that ride downtown If I have to tell you twice I'd take my own advice I know it's better for me If I go on my own journey If I'm ready for the gurney What's the point in being lonely I'm not waiting for a trophy I know I've got things to do Subscriptions to renew A life to pursue Someday I'll say I got through Through to myself from you My words are heavy Bearing thousands of weights This path I tread Is full of restraints This tree of wisdom I call my own I nurture with words and love alone The roots grow deeper under the earth I flip the pages left and right Trying to understand that night Problems that I just don't get But I don't think that could stand the lie That we'll be fine I know you like the city lights The smell of gasoline on sight The way my hair blows in wind The way our hands are intertwined I know But I don't want that no more I should've told you before Before Before, before, before Before, before, before Before, before, before Before Before that ride down town
