A lifetime ago, I dated a guy who had a girlfriend. His name was Brian.
LYRICS...
You had a girl, but I pretended not to know
Playing guitar on the passenger side
While you'd drive
We were the only people alive
Outside of town we had our Paris for a time
Numbered days ticking like a bomb
And you, calm,
As you traced your name in my palm
We knew the end at the start inhaling September air
Playing the weekend by heart on a road to nowhere
CHORUS
So far gone
Finding a place where we're not wrong
Thinking one day we can just move on
Making the bed that we lie in, Brian
We couldn't stop or we would see what we'd become
Only able to have our fun
when you're done
twirling your girl around in the sun
Got a good look 'cause we were bound to blow apart
What a real exciting mistake
Hard to break
But oh so easy to make
I knew the end at the start, still I started to care
Wishing I'd played it smart when I landed nowhere
CHORUS
We wanted one last word, one last laugh
There was no way to win
You picked your girl, now all that I am
is just somewhere you've been
CHORUS
Then someday
Absent-minded on the highway
I'll be reminded we left Sunday
Hiding my face while I'm crying, Brianmore
