lyrics

in the autumn riding along
on the stereo playing our song
got you out of your little town
got me out of the city for now
in the wagon windows down
in the basement rolling around
and i held you in my arms
nothing could ever do us no harm
no one could ever keep us apart but

we could never last
i was self-obsessed
making my little world
and you were the girl that i liked best
we could never last
i was self-obsessed
you were adorable
but i was self-obsessed

in the summer running round in the rain
couldn't help but get us swept away
loved you like an old friend of mine
loved you like i couldn't help but crying
making patches stitching 'em on
after practice i'll play you a song
at the show you'd stand to the side
loved you with everything inside
loved you maybe til the day we died but

we could never last
i was self-obsessed
making my little world
and you were the girl that i liked best
we could never last
i was self-obsessed
you were adorable
but i was self-obsessed

and if i had the chance again i'd hold you tight
and if i had the chance again we'd drive all night

getting lost in a northern town
in the backseat rolling around
had a pretty flower in your hair
million miles an hour not a care
in the summer running round in the rain
couldn't help but get us swept away
loved you like an old friend of mine
loved you like i couldn't help but crying
loved you maybe til the day we died but

we could never last
i was self-obsessed
making my little world
and you were the girl that i liked best
we could never last
i was self-obsessed
you were adorable
