Sheryl Crow - Crash and Burn lyrics

rate me

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 gotta get away

To wanna go back home again

I left my universe standing there

Holding the hand of my best friend

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

I wrote a letter that I never mailed

I rehearsed a dialogue in my head

In case you ever wanted to track me down

I'll take mycell 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

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

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

Cause I've gotten use to the crash and burn

I say I've gotten use to the crash and burn

(Sheryl Crow/Jeff Trott)
