lyrics

I’m saving my writing for Brooklyn
Soaking up everything I can
There's no time to write when I'm singing every night
Driving eight hours a day

And they tell me drive safe
But I'd likely be better at driving
If i were driving with you rather than driving on my own
I’ve pulled a U-ey three times today

And I'm on the Mississippi
I’m in a different city
Don't you think I look pretty
Sitting by myself

I'm wearing my sister’s hand-me-downs
My hair’s in knots past my shoulders now
I’ve been in three thousand towns
And I’ve been telling myself

Chorus:
That just because your connection was fleeting
Doesn't mean that it didn't exist
And just because your love was competing
Doesn't mean they thought you were shit

And just because he read it
Doesn't mean you shouldn't have texted
‘There's no room for regret
In this lifetime,’ he said.
‘Don’t be fucked in the head.’

And I felt an intimacy with you
I hadn't felt in a while
A kind of blurring in my head
I didn't know with other guys

So I tried to keep it together
Tried to nail you down good
I was so swept up with conserving
Every ounce that I could

And I'm on the Mississippi
I’m in a different city
Don't you think I look pretty
Sitting by myself

I'm wearing my sister’s hand-me-downs
My hair’s in knots past my shoulders now
I’ve been in three thousand towns
And I’ve been telling myself
Chorus:
That just because your connection was fleeting
Doesn't mean that it didn't exist
And just because your love was competing
Doesn't mean they thought you were shit

And just because he read it
Doesn't mean you shouldn't have texted
‘There's no room for regret
In this lifetime,’ he said.
