lyrics

My baby wears platform shoes
My baby has bad tattoos
My baby doesn't have to choose

My baby's black leather clad
The best driver i've ever had
We've got a roof when the weather's bad

And when the sun glances off the most perfect hairs they have growing on the top of their lip
Through a hairline crack in the cap that sheltered us all the way from here to hell and then back
And they lean back in the bed of the truck, and then crack a tall can smile with a full headed look and a sidelong sip
Something in me cracks and then swells and I know there's no words that could tell them that

I saw that picture of you
Your new hair matches
That shirt

My baby wears platform shoes
My baby has bad tattoos
My baby doesn't have to choose
Betwen me and another

My baby's black leather clad
The best driver i've ever had
We've got a roof when the weather's bad
Between the two of our mothers

I was thinking bout my baby when i crossed the state line
Thinking it doesn't matter much if they were thinking bout me at the same time
But i can't stop feeling like someone cut my brakelines
Like i can't wait but then again its the best when it takes time

I saw that picture of you
Your new hair matches
That shirt that we bought
I'd like to say i hope you're doing well
But i can tell
that you're not
