Let’s make it a point to start it over
And maybe you’ll make it a point to break my heart
And I’m so sorry that it took me so long to figure out
I’ve been in London, no I’m lying, I’ve been around

But you know that’s how it goes
You know that’s how it goes

Well I’ve been listening to your mix tapes
And pictures all along the wall
As Death Cab tells the truth about the Californ-i-a

Cause you know that’s how it goes
But you know that’s how it goes

Let’s make it a point to break our backs over these stars
We’re routing awkward California
Route 66 is on our minds
We’ll travel through the country as my dad gives his advice
Oh, how I love him
He’s amazing to me
And he says, “Son, don’t you worry.”
And he says, “Son, she’s just a lady who doesn’t know her ways and never will.”
