lyrics

You always open the car door for me
Dust the fast food crumbs out the crack of my seat
And though the stereo doesn’t work
And the new car smell tree doesn’t reflect its worth

I love it when we drive past the great wheel
Watch the food trucks colors reflect off the distant sunlight
The breeze has a crunch and the air has a chill
And if four layers won’t work, then what else will

Rub my red hands until they get to peach
It’s odd knowing your name isn’t the leech
You do drain the color out of my face
But that’s due to affection, not me being frightened and in haste

We stop at a crowded restaurant you used to be a regular at
With the line full of monochrome and blue light
You order me a chocolate croissant, you say it’s your favorite
And I cry like a martyr while they’re cleaning the stalls

This song is about driving around Seattle with your crush in his beat-up car. It is as simple as it sounds.
