  • Let's drive for no reason, let's see where these wheels land
    Let's grind down the curve of this earth
    You look fine in the evening, honey, it's starting to storm
    When we kissed in the car in the school parking lot
    Where I'd go with my friends to get drunk
    Used to wish I meant anything to anywhere, to anyone

    When forever was a sentence, sentence to death
    Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat
    And the edges of your soul, I haven't seen yet
    Now I'm glad I get forever to see where you end

    I won't be alone for the rest of my life
    I'll build a boat for when the river gets high
    And I'll meet a girl in the heat of July
    And I'll tell her so she knows
    That I'm broke, but I'm real rich in my head
    That I broke a bone that never healed in my hand
    So, when I hold her close
    I might loosen my grip, but I won't ever let her go
    I won't ever let her go
    Woo

    Remember when we called the cops
    'Cause I got too high, and you got scared?
    The cops just laughed
    We can't make rent, so we window-shop
    In the Upper West Side, oh, my God
    Could you imagine that?

    I won't be alone for the rest of my life
    I'll build a boat for when the river gets high
    And I'll meet a girl in the heat of July
    And I'll tell her so she knows
    That I'm broke, but I'm real rich in my head
    That I broke a bone that never healed in my hand
    So, when I hold her close
    I might loosen my grip, but I won't ever let her go
    I won't ever let her go

    When forever was a sentence, sentence to death
    Oh, when you were a running tear, I was a drop of sweat
    And the edges of your soul, I haven't seen yet
    Now I'm glad I get forever to see where you end
    To see where you end Writer/s: Gabe Simon, Noah Kahan
