Over the Rocks - drama


Based On: Getaway Car by Taylor Swift

All of me
Laid out like an open book by your coffee
Dared to leave
Adrenaline with my bags in the backseat

If the gas runs out I'll take a breather by the book store and figure it out
If the night comes dark I'll be fine in a taxi as cold as your heart

I couldn't give you a lift
Sunk to the cold abyss
Over the rocks in paradise
Foot off the brake pedal
Into the sunset and
Over the rocks having a good time

Carefully
I snuck out of bed and stole the nicer car keys
Empathy
For the groaning engine going fifty on a thirty

And the old stories of the runaway bride came to life just for me
I put myself to sleep in a bed somewhere with you far away enough from me

I couldn't give you a lift
Sunk to the cold abyss
Over the rocks in paradise
Foot off the brake pedal
Into the sunset and
Over the rocks having a good time

Thankfully
I left as soon as I felt the ground cave beneath me
Clearly
The rubble didn't turn into something fancy

Now my past runs dry like the edge of a river on a summery high
And the sounds of me echo's like a warning in your bad dreams

I couldn't give you a lift
Sunk to the cold abyss
Over the rocks in paradise
Foot off the brake pedal
Into the sunset and
Over the rocks having a good time

Fearfully
I couldn't pretend enough just to keep you happy.
