lyrics

Settle into the backseat of your
97 Mitsubishi Eclipse,
I was wishing I could resist.
But, you know just what I’ll want,
like a tarot read in Chinatown,
but slightly more expensive
considering all the future bills we’ll share.

And I’m stuck feeling so certain
Things will always be so much better with you babe.

Yellow is the color that I feel when we’re together and I know the shade will change with occasional pain.
But, I Know you like no other and my shoulders sink when together, I’m
stuck feeling so certain things will be barely better with you babe.

I’m stuck feeling so certain things will
be barely better with you babe.
I’m stuck feeling so certain things will always just be better with you babe.
