Lost Weekend - Pete Yorn

Drivin' outta Vegas in their automobile She was in the back seat while he was at the wheel With the windows wide open All the money from the store, they'd gambled away He said "the best laid plans often go astray" She took the page of a book and turned it down She lit a cigarette, she didn't make a sound "And I know, if we'd had just one more chance," he said "I know, we'd finally hit the big one at last", she said Chorus: (Instead of) another lost weekend Lost weekend Another lost weekend Lost weekend "Pull over soon," she said, "it's no big deal, You can take any exit that you happen to feel Is the right one" The right one As she slowly blew her smoke out the rear wind vent She thought back on all the letters she'd sent For a contest to be on a quiz game show "Maybe I shoulda stayed in school," he said "Yeah, I knowstart your own business cleanin' swimming pools," she said Chorus repeat x2 She leaned over the front seat and twiddled with the radio dial She looked out the window, saw a sign, and both of them began to smile "There's a place we can stay at... it's up another mile."

Only save, Try to find another way, I'm taking what I gave to you again. Some new day I could understand your face, You could even hold my hand if you would like to. It came up unexpected, I had to follow through And it's hard when you were working like you do. It was easy when you were younger, You can put it back together, It was there if you ever wanted it But you closed the door and said goodbye for good. So this is a mistake, Try to find a better way, You were never fond of anything I said. Can we begin again? Save it for another friend, I was happy in my life I won't pretend, Every time you were expecting to reach out and forgive this, I was hardened by the look upon your face, It was easy when you were younger, You can put it back together, It was there if you ever wanted it, But you closed the door and said goodbye for good, For good

There's a place around my heart that you wish for When you pretend its never there What are you living for? Come back and see me some time, she said Thinking he'd rather be dead. But eventually I might give her a ring instead Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean So clean When you're alone, You'll ask yourself things I bet you were not Even thinking all these things One time its clear to you All the things you know He even reminds me of the kid we used to know Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean. So clean. There's a place around my heart That you hope for When you pretend its never there What do you answer for? Come back and see me sometime, she said. Thinking he'd be dead. But eventually, I might give her a book instead Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean. So clean. Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? Would you talk to me? I want everything to be so clean. So clean.

I know a man who lives under his covers Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's playing God And somebody told him that he was no good at Uh uh uh uh uh uh He's talking out of the left side of his mouth And he won't follow These lines he's drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here every night Three little boys dress up in the morning Uh uh uh uh uh uh Come back home from the school yard Talkin' bout Love But on this occasion the boys feel the same Uh uh uh uh uh uh Something's holding them back there I bet it was their mom And they won't follow These lines he's drawn for them Cause they don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what they see here every night And we both know That people change When truth's not part of their lives I've seen the love in their eyes Don't say goodbye Goodbye I know a man who wakes up in the evening Uh uh uh uh uh uh Lost his mind from the TV Now he's blaming God And somebody told him that he's good for nothing Uh uh uh uh uh uh Now he screen prints American T-shirts Through the night And he won't follow These lines they've drawn for him And he don't want to try Seeing is believing Lord knows what he sees here Every night

When I met you I didn't know what to do I was tired, I was hungry, I fight Now I'm away I write home everyday and I see you on the TV at night You can see that life's for us to talk about You can leave whenever you want out Whoa You don't relate to me, no girl You don't respect me, no girl No girl, oh yeah When I met you I didn't know what to do But I noticed that I didn't really feel Now you're away You write home everyday I don't beg, I don't borrow, I steal You don't think that life's for us to talk about You can leave whenever you want out You want out Well, you don't relate to me, no girl You don't respect me, no girl (You can leave when ever you want out) And you don't relate to me, no girl And you don't respect me, no girl (You can leave whenever you want out) No you don't relate to me, no girl And you don't respect me, no girl No girl, yeah
