[Verse 1]
Scared of everything
Everything's on blast
Never travel light
I carry the past
In an armored car
That's my skeleton
Worship one idea
Like a superfan
In a gallery
With a slanted view
There's a book signing
Dystopian haikus
As they're read out loud
Under Edison lights
Makes me scratch my head
And think of simpler times

[Chorus 1]
Borrowed a car for the day
We drove it out to The Rockaways
And you went swimming
I watched you swimming

[Verse 2]
I'm made of money now
There's nothing I want
Except expensive wine
To watch the rocket launch
We'll climb up on the roof
And sit in plastic chairs
Watch it accelerate
Until it disappears
Just like your goodbye voice
Trailing off down the hall
I love you, baby
I'll be back in one hour
You'll try and smile then
Sometimes it doesn't stick
I'll help you tune it out
I'll help you reminisce
[Chorus 2]
Borrowed a car for the day
Filled it up with some friends I'd made
And they went dancing
I watched them dancing

[Bridge]
Don't feel badly
I'm barely angry
It's not too much to contain
Always knew that
It'd probably happen
We'd put these memories to shame

[Chorus 3]
Borrowed a car for the day
Gassed it up for our getaway
Said you'd be waiting
I left you waiting
