drivers license

David Byrne

I got my driver s license last week
Just like we always talked about
Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
Today, I drove through the suburbs cryin
Cause you weren t around

And you re probably with that blond boy
The one who always made me doubt
He s so much younger than me
Everything I m insecure about
Today, I drove through the suburbs
Cause how could I ever love someone else?

And I know we weren t perfect,
But I never felt this way for no one
And I just can t imagine how you could be okay
Now that I m gone
Guess you didn t mean what you wrote
In that song about me
Cause you said forever,
Now I drive alone past your street

And all my friends are tired
Hearin how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
They ll never know you the way that I do
Yeah, today, I drove through the suburbs
And I pictured I was driving home to you

And I know we weren t perfect,
But I never felt this way for no one
And I just can t imagine how you could be okay
Now that I m gone
Guess you didn t mean what you wrote
In that song about me
Cause you said forever,
Now I drive alone past your street

Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can t drive by the places we used to go to
Cause I still fuckin love you, babe
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, laughin
Over all the noise
God, I m so blue, we re through
But I still fuckin love you, babe

And I know we weren t perfect,
But I never felt this way for no one
And I just can t imagine how you could be okay
Now that I m gone
Guess you didn t mean what you wrote
In that song about me
Cause you said forever,
Now I drive alone past your street

Cause you said forever,
Now I drive alone past your street
