Silver Civic

Today I thought of you

It doesn't happen often

I was walkin' in the rain

The light hit, the leaves softened

Under my feet

Road unpaved and true

Been six years since I even talked to you

There was no coolin' down

You just wrapped my hand in yours, put your head down

Said you were sorry, I

Started to question what was real

Held tight to the lapel of your coat just to have somethin' to feel

You said that you'd be goin'

Couldn't believe you were tellin' the truth

There was no way of knowin'

I used to find you just by chance

At the back of a concert bar, you had me in a trance

And I read our letters now

How could you have felt those things, packed up

And driven out of town?

When every silver Civic was your car

And I was gonna be a star

And you were gonna be mine

When every silver Civic was your car

And I was gonna be a star

And you were gonna be mine

Now I'm in rumpled cotton slouchin'

Got my kingdom, got my couch

Autopilot is my pilot

I roll in and I whirl out

I eat up this experience

Careen down highways of doubt

I'm just teeterin' in adulthood

Like a flower in a drought

When every silver Civic was your car

And I was gonna be a star

And you were gonna be mine

When every silver Civic was your car

And I was gonna be a star

And you were gonna be mine

Every silver Civic was your car

Every silver Civic was your car

Every silver Civic was your car
