[Verse 1]
Get out the car and walk a straight line
You've been swerving left and right
Please sir, won't you stare into the light
Follow my finger back and forth
Say the alphabet in reverse
Call someone to pick up your car
And this is how I cope with losing you

[Pre-Chorus]
You pull me down and I don't know how to get back up
I've been stuck in this rut, for I don't know how long now
And it's hard to sleep cause I think too much all the time
Couldn't keep you off my mind, so I'll be in jail tonight

[Chorus]
I'm sitting in the backseat of a cop car
Here's your one last phone call
I should've called my mom, but instead I called you

[Verse 2]
Remember the dance at our high school gym
We stayed out til 3 AM
And swore we'd never change when we graduated
We had high hopes for USC
They accepted you, but didn't me
And I'm working out of home, at a place you used to go
Everything here reminds me of you
My car still smells like your perfume
You used to wear out on dates and it drives me insane
And this is how I cope with losing you
[Pre-Chorus]
You pull me down and I don't know how to get back up
I've been stuck in this rut, for I don't know how long now
And it's hard to sleep cause I think too much all the time
Couldn't keep you off my mind, so I'll be in jail tonight

[Chorus]
I'm sitting in the backseat of a cop car
Here's your one last phone call
I should've called my mom, but instead I called you

[Bridge]
I sit curbside and watch the world go by
Blue and red lights burn my eyes
I sit curbside and watch the world go by
Blue and red lights burn my eyes

[Chorus]
I'm sitting in the backseat of a cop car
Here's your one last phone call
I should've called my mom, but instead I called you

[Outro]
The last six hours have been a blur
They let me out and there you were
Thought I wasted my last call
But you bailed me out after all
