"Tinted Windows" lyrics

You don't even try to listen to me
I've been calling every day and every night for a week
I know you're on the road
But maybe once a week, at least?

I swear I don't see it ring, and can I please get a pass?
I'm in a van, going a month now, with my head in my ass
I know I said I'd do better this time
I know I said I'd try
I know I said I'd try

This summer, we watched the leaves change
From behind tinted windows
And the longer we stay
The faster it'll get old

I remember, from the back of the Chevy
You taking Alligator Alley, doing 77
You looked at me and said
You never wanted this to end

And now you're crying on a curb outside a CVS
In the middle of Missouri, and you're holding a test
Is it really all my fault?
Oh, is this happening again?
Is it happening again?

Oh, this summer we watched the leaves change
From behind tinted windows
And the longer we stay
The harder it'll get, oh

But it's part of the game
They're the sharks, and we're the minnows
And it's easy to play
But there never is a winner, oh

For Christmas Eve, I'll make a big plan
Then I'll spend it in a black Dodge Caravan
You'll get a "Happy Birthday" and a call on the phone, oh
But chances are, you're probably gonna spend it alone

For Christmas Eve, I'll make a big plan
Then I'll spend it in a black Dodge Caravan
You'll get a "Happy Birthday" and a call on the phone, oh
But chances are, you're probably gonna spend it alone

'Cause I'm gone
I'm gone
I'm always gone
And there never is a winner, oh
