lyrics

As we plunged through the potholes of West Philadelphia
I thought I might’ve bent my frame
The truck was fine but after you got out
You and I never drove the same

You kept to your side of the room at the party
I wish I’d just gone to bed
At the end of the night, I put soy sauce on your rice
You looked so tired and unimpressed

I drove 2000 miles in an old rusted truck
Just because it had a bed in the back
I hung up fairy lights and curtains and I packed it with expectations
Til the leaf springs sagged

I’d been all winter daydreaming a rendezvous
I never bothered to fact check
In the first five minutes after getting there
I saw you with your arm around his neck

You don’t look at me the same
As you did in Colorado
Before I drove all this way
I should’ve known what I already knew
Because I can tell that he’s on your mind
And now I’m just in your way
I look at you like we used to
But you don’t look at me the same

In northeastern North Carolina one night
Everything finally stopped going south
And you crawled into the back of my truck, though
Streptococcus kept me from kissing your mouth

Still, in the morning I was jubilant
Singing “Cecilia” and texting my friends
All the time I bided and the miles I made
Were finally paying dividends

But you saw something in my end zone shuffle
That stank like certainty
I guess the glow between us was only visible in
The midnight of perfidy

You said I took all the fun out of it
When I kicked my feet up on the couch
I should’ve known at your age that the getting there
Is not as fun as the sneaking around
It’s not as fun as the sneaking around

After Philadelphia, the curtains in the windows
Made the truck feel more like a hearse
And that last night in Maine, kissing wine-drunk in the kitchen
Only made me feel worse

Knowing, to you, I didn’t mean as much
As a nightcap of human touch
Sometimes a look says more than words ever can
Sometimes it doesn’t say near enough

And you don’t look at me the same
As you did in Colorado
Before I drove all this way
To mine own guts I should’ve been true
Because I can tell that he’s on your mind
And now I’m just in your way
I look at you like we used to
But you don’t look at me the same
