Roadtripsong - Abby Cates

You left your shadow here Can you come and pick it up? With all the boxes, dear Of things you left and then forgot Because I'm trying to clear Out every memory of us Oh, darling, you should know It don't feel like I'm alone I keep seeing ghosts and up the stairs I feel something behind me, like you're there I keep seeing your face in every mirror I think I'm going crazy But you're everywhere, baby But you're everywhere, baby But you're everywhere, baby Are you messing with me? Is this some kind of fucked up joke? 'Cause I checked yesterday And that's not where I left your coat You should feel my heartbeat Every time I hear my phone And I can't tell what's in my mind Have you been coming to me at night? I keep seeing ghosts and up the stairs I feel something behind me, like you're there I keep seeing your face in every mirror I think I'm going crazy But you're everywhere, baby Please, take the pictures I swear that the eyes move Please take your sweatshirt No space in my bedroom (Ooh) Take the mixtapes They keep playing in the middle of the night I'm messing with my own damn mind You're everywhere, baby You're everywhere, baby Everywhere I go I keep seeing ghosts and up the stairs I feel something behind me, like you're there I keep seeing your face in every mirror Comin' up behind me Like you've been trying to find me And I keep getting haunted by these sounds I know I haven't heard them since you were around And I keep playing mind games with myself I think I'm going crazy But you're everywhere, baby

There were nights in July When everything went fine But I still drove home Trying not to cry (Trying not to cry) And there were nights in June I almost called you after two But I didn't, 'cause I knew That she'd be with you (She'd be with you) Throw the jacket on so casual Let's talk about how you left it all When you let me watch you fall in love You can't pretend that it's not your fault But there's something 'bout the way you're lookin' now (Something 'bout the way you're lookin' now) Telling me that I should let it go somehow (Telling me that I should let it go somehow) You asked if it's been on my mind all summer And if I said no, then I'd be lying I looked for you in every single crowd In every single crowd, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh In every single crowd, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh Don't tell me it hurt you when I didn't reply 'Cause letting you back in has got me hurt every time They're playing our song, you say you think it's a sign But I spent summer trying to tell myself I was fine But there's something 'bout the way you're lookin' now (Something 'bout the way you're lookin' now) Telling me that I should let it go somehow (Telling me that I should let it go somehow) You asked if it's been on my mind all summer And if I said no, then I'd be lying I looked for you in every single crowd In every single crowd, ooh (oh) In every single crowd, ooh (every single crowd) (Every single crowd)

It's getting late, my hair is frizzy in the heat Strawberry wine is sticky on my car seats I'm all alone, I drove three of my girlfriends home (home) The stars are out but they're covered by the neighborhood The night is over before it could really get good I like Ohio, but she's putting my soul to sleep I just need some Better friends, somebody who will listen Better friends, I need a fuckin' better friends list Better characters, my borеdom's getting harder to ignore Bеtter friends who won't say they're in the friend zone Better friends that won't remind me I'm a bit alone Better characters that maybe won't let me down 'Cause, oh, I'm down I'm down, I'm down I'm tired of this lukewarm type of attitude Okay with everything, but never really in the mood What should we do? You always answer "Let's go drive all night" That'd be okay if it was decent conversation Not all about what your latest shitty boyfriend did (boys literally fucking suck) Honestly I want to turn this car around I just need some Better friends, somebody who will listen Better friends, I need a fuckin' better friends list Better characters, my borеdom's getting harder to ignore Bеtter friends who won't say they're in the friend zone Better friends that won't remind me I'm a bit alone Better characters that maybe won't let me down 'Cause, oh, I'm down I'm down, I'm down Better friends, somebody who will listen Better friends, I need a fuckin' better friends list Better characters, my borеdom's getting harder to ignore Bеtter friends who won't say they're in the friend zone Better friends that won't remind me I'm a bit alone Better characters that maybe won't let me down 'Cause, oh, I'm down I'm down (I'm down) I'm down Down

We could do more than smoke, I said I could use the company And you could use road head I'm always a little lost, I guess You always say you need me And then you always forget And you pull into my dark long drive And you touch my leg to say goodnight And I hold onto the seat so tight 'Cause it's late and I'll be emphasizing The fact that I am still naive And I hope there's nothing up your sleeve You'll say, darling, won't you stay with me? 'Cause it hurts me every time you leave H-h-hey, doesn't it seem like kind of a bad idea To drive around and go past my house When my parents are home? And hey, I met your dad at the football game last Friday and on the low whenever you smoke It makes him so sad And you pull into my dark long drive And you touch my leg to say goodnight And I hold onto the seat so tight 'Cause it's late and I'll be emphasizing The fact that I am still naive And I hope there's nothing up your sleeve You'll say, darling, won't you stay with me? 'Cause it hurts me every time you leave Hey, I hope you know, I'm totally cool With hooking up on the D-L And acting like we don't know each other at school But hey, I thought you should know When we're both done in June And you're studying e-con at Cornell I'm gonna blow up and forget about you And you pull into my dark long drive And you touch my leg to say goodnight And I hold onto the seat so tight 'Cause it's late and I'll be emphasizing The fact that I am still naive And I hope there's nothing up your sleeve You'll say, darling, won't you stay with me? 'Cause it hurts me every time you leave
