Cop Car (Demo)

(album: Underdog Alma Mater - 2008)

Get out the and walk a straight line,
You've been swerving left and right.
Please sir, won't you stare into the light
Follow my finger back and forth,
Say the alphabet in reverse.
Call someone to pick up your car.
And this is how I cope with losing you.

You pull me down and I don't know how to back up,
I've been stuck in this rut, for I don't know how long now.
And it's hard to sleep cause I think too much all the time.
Couldn't keep you off my mind, so I'll be in jail tonight.

I'm sitting in the backseat of a cop car,
here's your one last phone call,
I should've called my mom, but instead I called you.

Remember the dance at our high school gym
we stayed out til 3 AM
and swore we'd never change when we graduated.
We had high hopes for USC,
they accepted you, but didn't me.
And I'm working out of home, at a place you used to go.

Everything here reminds me of you,
my car still smells like your perfume,
You used to wear out on dates and it drive me insane.
And this is how I cope with losing you.

You pull me down and I don't know how to back up,
I've been stuck in this rut, for I don't know how long now.
And it's hard to sleep cause I think too much all the time.
Couldn't keep you off my mind, so I'll be in jail tonight.

I'm sitting in the backseat of a cop car,
here's your one last phone call,
I should've called my mom, but instead I called you.

I sit curbside and watch the world go by,
blue and red lights burn my eyes.
I sit curbside and watch the world go by,
blue and red lights burn my eyes.

I'm sitting in the backseat of a cop car,
here's your one last phone call,
I should've called my mom, but instead I called you.

The last six hours have been a blur,
they let me out and there you were,
thought I wasted my last call,
but you bailed me out after all.
