[Verse 1]
I watched the sun come up on Portland
I waved goodbye to all my friends
I packed my car and headed to LA
I gave away all my loose ends
Somebody said you got to get away
To wanna go back home again
I left my universe standing there
Holding the hand of my best friend
[Chorus]
And it's laughter that I feel when I think of you
It's one more dusty rose about to turn
I'll see you when I reach New Mexico
If I'm in the mood to crash and burn
[Verse 2]
I wrote a letter that I never mailed
I rehearse a dialogue in my head
In case you ever wanted to track me down
I'll take my cell phone to bed
And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn
I call you up when my bottle's dry
And I'm on my way to crash and burn
Antigone laid across the road
And let a Mack truck leave her there for dead
Just because her lover split the scene
Well, love might be great, but why lose your head?
[Chorus]
Well, it's laughter that comes up when I cry for you
And my heart may break again before it learns
And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again
Cos I've gotten used to crash and burn
I say, I've gotten used to the crash and burn
[Outro]
Crash and burn
Crash Crash
Crash and burn
I watched the sun come up on Portland
I waved goodbye to all my friends
I packed my car and headed to LA
I gave away all my loose ends
Somebody said you got to get away
To wanna go back home again
I left my universe standing there
Holding the hand of my best friend
[Chorus]
And it's laughter that I feel when I think of you
It's one more dusty rose about to turn
I'll see you when I reach New Mexico
If I'm in the mood to crash and burn
[Verse 2]
I wrote a letter that I never mailed
I rehearse a dialogue in my head
In case you ever wanted to track me down
I'll take my cell phone to bed
And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn
I call you up when my bottle's dry
And I'm on my way to crash and burn
Antigone laid across the road
And let a Mack truck leave her there for dead
Just because her lover split the scene
Well, love might be great, but why lose your head?
[Chorus]
Well, it's laughter that comes up when I cry for you
And my heart may break again before it learns
And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again
Cos I've gotten used to crash and burn
I say, I've gotten used to the crash and burn
[Outro]
Crash and burn
Crash Crash
Crash and burn
