"Dashboard Confession" lyrics

The story goes I'm only out tonight to find a body
She's heard it all before I'm told she don't feel anybody
But I love a challenge and she likes a fist fight
My cards are on the table ain't just idle conversation
About the past I know that she won't tell if I don't ask
I thought I was winning when she was halfway to running me down

I always talk first, but who's got it worse?
Tread softly on these dreams
She's so scared to get hurt

But I'll drown in the deep
Before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leaving
Town tomorrow morning
Then she said to me that she's 23
And there's no master plan
She just needs a friend

She keeps her uncle's hunting knife beside the driver seat
She'll blame it all on God, the state, her mom, the people's army
It's just a reflection, a dashboard confession

I always talk first, but who's got it worse?
Tread softly on these dreams
She's so scared to get hurt

But I'll drown in the deep
Before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leaving
Town tomorrow morning
Then she said to me that she's 23
And there's no master plan
She just needs a friend

Through her perfectly flawed design (Oh, oh, oh)
In this big picture where'd you draw your line?

I know I'll drown in the deep
Before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leaving
Town tomorrow morning
Then she said to me that she's 23 (Ooh, ooh)
And there's no master plan
When building up means breaking down again
She don't want sympathy or pretend to be sad (Ooh, ooh)
Thinking the end she, she just needs a

(Whoa, whoa) Yeah, she just needs
(Whoa)
