19

(album: Race Car Blues - 2020)

I was in a backseat, dead at 19
You were on your front foot ready to comfort me
Both so naïve

Heaving at the pitstop, brushing your side
Could you feel my heart drop
In the dashboard light
When everything felt right

Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again
I want to die in this car
I'm in love, I'm not your friend

We were in a taxi, drunk and 19
I can feel the whole world looking at me now
Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again

I was such a deadbeat under those sheets
Wrapped you like a blanket how did you handle me?
My self-esteem?

Hate me don't you dare stop, I'm just a lie
Fumble when my heart drops
I'll try to justify
We just felt so right

Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again
I want to die in this car
I'm in love, I'm not your friend

We were in a taxi, drunk and 19
I can feel the whole world looking at me now
Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again

Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again
I want to die in this car
I'm in love, I'm not your friend

I don't like to say it's over
'Cause in my head it never ended
I'm not gonna say it's over
It's my truth and I can bend it

We were in the backseat, drunk at 19
I still get the feeling that you're thinking of me now
I'm never gonna say it's over
You're still leaning on my shoulder

Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again
I want to die in this car
I'm in love, I'm not your friend

We were in a taxi, drunk and 19
I can feel the whole world looking at me now
Just stay right where you are
I won't fall for that again
