lyrics

do you remember austin
where we couldn't resist it much longer
you had your boots on, it didn't matter
our legs were tangled crashing into each other

and it's been far too long now i realize
since i looked my look into your eyes

stranded in california
in someone elses room and colder than alaska
i felt the pressure, all the screaming
i couldn't fix it so i found myself leaving

and i know it's hard but i'm here now
cause the bridge has broken backwards and it's clear now

so long goodbye
i don't know how long but i gave it a try
those rooms are full
you don't know how about the push and the pull

darling i will stay with you every night
i must reveal hold my steering wheel real tight

no more crying it's all over
close the door and rest your head upon my shoulder
you love your whiskey, i love my castle
you can stay the night with none of the hassle

and i love you much more than anything
you're the benjamin franklin to my kite string

so long goodbye
i don't know how long but i gave it a try
those rooms are full
you don't know all about the push and the pull
