"eighty minute drive" august 27, 2023
verse 1
found a picture you sent me way back when.
never thought i'd see it again,
and i don't think that i wanted to.
eighty minute drive isn't that far,
not when it's for an aching heart.
i had my chance, i failed and i lost you.
prechorus 1
so now you found someone else
to match how you felt,
to put me through hell.
eighty minute drive isn't that far.
every interaction forms a new scar.
i would quit it if i was smart.
chorus
she's so perfect in every way.
she's the one who could take my place.
not even mad for what you put me through,
'cause i could never compare to her.
i know it'd be so unfair to you
if you came back like you always used to do.
no, i can't change mine,
but please don't change your mind.
verse 2
got wasted and wrote some songs for you,
but didn't have anyone to send them to,
so they collected dust inside my closet.
prechorus 2
and now you're fine and you're thriving,
while i'm just surviving,
but, god, am i trying.
eighty minute drive isn't worth it.
she's the one getting the better version,
while i was left sitting uncertain.
chorus
she's so perfect in every way.
she's the one who could take my place.
not even mad for what you put me through,
'cause i could never compare to her.
i know it'd be so unfair to you
if you came back like you always used to do.
no, i can't change mine,
but please don't change your mind.
bridge
so what were those years for
if you found someone so much more
beautiful and interesting than i ever was?
i planned and i prayed for the two of us.
then i guess i'm just a fucking burden
to you, but i'll be the bigger person.
i hope you're happy with her
like i was with you first.
i'll be around if you ever call me,
if you ever want to say you're sorry.
told you my secrets and you kept them,
so please don't use that as a weapon.
you know i'll never change,
i've always been this way.
i don't regret a thing.
be happy without me.
chorus
she's so perfect in every way.
she's the one who could take my place.
not even mad for what you put me through,
'cause i could never compare to her.
i know it'd be so unfair to you
if you came back like you always used to do.
no, i can't change mine,
but please don't change your mind.
outro
eighty minute drive isn't that far.
every interaction forms a new scar.
i would quit it if i was smart.
eighty minute drive isn't worth it.
she's the one getting the better version,
while i was left sitting uncertain.
eighty minute drive is full of pain.
all the time spent in the rain,
the water won't go down the drain.
eighty minute drive still breaks my heart.
eighty minute drive pulls me apart.
takes an eighty minute drive to restart.
-this song is so fucking long but I love it
