I watched the sun come up on portland
I waved goodbye to all my friends
I packed my car and headed to la
I gave away all my loose ends
Somebody said you gotta get away
To wanna go back home again
I left my universe standing there
Holding the hand of my best friend
And its laughter that I feel when I think of you
Its one more dusty rose about to turn
Ill see you when I reach new mexico
If Im in the mood to crash and burn
I wrote a letter that I never mailed
I rehearsed a dialogue in my head
In case you ever wanted to track me down
Ill take mycell phone to bed
And its laughter that I hear when I close my eyes
And its one more punchline I forgot to learn
I call you up when my bottles dry
Im on my way to crash and burn
Antigone laid across the road
And let a mack truck leave her there for dead
Just because her lover split the scene
Well love might be great but why lose your head
Well, its laughter that comes up when I cry for you
And my heart may break again before it learns
And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again
Cause Ive gotten use to the crash and burn
I say Ive gotten use to the crash and burn
