Crushed - Thomston

We crashed the car at the Lakewood exit

With shards of words and twisted metal

Saying one day we’ll be friends

Bleeding out and reminiscing

How you stole my breath at the beginning

And right there at the end

They said that home would make better

But the flowers wilted on the dresser

And the friends stopped checking in

Sleeping with the light on

Can’t stop checking my vitals

It’s a constant downward spiral

The extent to which you fucked me up

Oh baby, we fell apart the way we fell in love

You struck me down the way you lit me up

It was so fast, we got whiplash

Oh, the flashbacks are too much

Kissing your neck

Pushing my luck

Playing it back

Leaving me crushed

It was just you and me reclining in the car

But now the memory’s colored dark

All the sweetness burned to tar

Tar that paved the roads we drove on

I’m taking them alone

I hit the city limits

The most of you I’ll ever know

Just wanted to drive

But it’s too late

I tried to dial

You just wanted to lay there baby

Watching your eyes well up

In the finality of us

Oh, I heard sirens

Screaming down the 105

Like a Hail Mary

Like we even stood a chance

It was so fast

We got whiplash

Oh, the flashbacks are too much

Stay in my bed

Dream of your touch

Kissing your neck

Pushing my luck

Years that we spent

Oh what a rush

Filling my head

Empty my cup

Tryna forget

How it ends up

Playing it back

Leaving me crushed
