i asked my friends,
have you ever fallen in love at first sight and then
watched your life fade to paper thin
without her
to fill it up?
"it was a summer day
driving with the boys to augustine
this is america
this is gasoline
hey-yo
let's fill it up
then i saw you
and i've never been the same
what's a man to do
you dropped my pride like fallen rain
mayday, mayday
don't be the one to get away babe, way babe
i know i sound insane
what's your middle name
i know you're leaving in three weeks
but i don't give a damn
i want to be the one you wonder bout
when you remember your months in the south
and the danger that you faced
if you woulda stayed
in your bandana days
i bet you drove home
back to missouri and your beau
the one you never mentioned in our whole
conversation so i gotta know
darlin i gotta know
that to you
was it all just a game
or did you feel it too
when you set fire to the rain
mayday, mayday
don't be the one to get away babe, way babe
i know i sound insane
what's your middle name
i know you're leaving in three weeks
but i don't give a damn
i want to be the one you wonder bout
when you remember your months in the south
and the danger that you faced
if you woulda stayed
in your bandana days
to you it was only a season
and i was only a feeling
you tell your friends about
you laugh as you drown out the loss
but was it at least an honor
to warp my entire
expectation of love
what i want in a crush
when you lay down in bed
do you see that red cloth
and think about us
do you say
mayday, mayday
don't be the one to get away babe, way babe
i know i sound insane
what's your middle name
i know you're leaving in three weeks
but i don't give a damn
i want to be the one you wonder bout
when you remember your months in the south
and the danger that you faced
if you woulda stayed
in your bandana days
yeah, your bandana days
hey-yo"
