[Verse 1]
Laura left before I had the chance to say I'm sorry
Been spending so many nights down here in Cuyahoga County
Well, it wasn't anything that you said or did
But I feel just like some stupid kid
Who got too fucked up
And now is just running around

[Pre-Chorus]
Please, please, please, Laura, don't fail me now
'Cause I'm all out of tears, but I've got so much to cry about

[Chorus]
So we'll drive out to Akron
We'll be screaming with our voices cracking
And I'll try to hold your hand
You'll say, "Pay attention to the road"
We'll be singing, windows open
'Cause you know the AC's broken
And I'll try to get you to talk about
What's going on back home, but you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know

[Verse 2]
It was back in July on the day your dog went missing
We werе sitting there, just watching TV in your parents' kitchеn
We were hanging up flyers and screaming his name
But we both gave up when it started to rain
And you said you never liked that dog that much anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
Please, please, please, Laura, don't fail me now
'Cause I'm all out of tears, but I've got so much to cry about

[Chorus]
So we'll drive out to Akron
We'll be screaming with our voices cracking
And I'll try to hold your hand
You'll say, "Pay attention to the road"
We'll be singing, windows open
'Cause you know the AC's broken
And I'll try to get you to talk about
What's going on back home, but you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know

[Bridge]
You said you met this guy
And he's smart and he's sweet
And he's in this awful band
And they're playing every week
But I bet he hasn't written
Even one single song about you
Yeah, I bet he hasn't written
Even one stupid song about you
[Chorus]
So we'll drive out to Akron
We'll be screaming with our voices cracking
And I'll try to hold your hand
You'll say, "Pay attention to the road"
We'll be singing, windows open
'Cause you know the AC's broken
And I'll try to get you to talk about
What's going on back home, but you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
