I was your, I was your test drive

V2
Be be careful now
Every turn, every move, every mile you improve
I'll show you how
Let you take the lead until it's muscle memory
No more need for me
C1
I was your test drive
Teach you all the ways, let you make mistakes
I was your first try
I showed you real love 'til you got your confidence up
Now she's your joy ride
I was your test drive
V2
Take me far away
Too consumed with the views, don't forget who's next to you
Now you're up so high
You gotta fall before you fly
Now you're telling me goodbye
C2
I was your test drive
Teach you all the ways, let you make mistakes
I was your first try
I showed you real love 'til you got your confidence up
Now she's your joy ride
I was your test drive
Bridge
Well little did I know she was hiding in the back seat
Yeah little did I know she was hiding in the back seat
Well little did you know I took a match to the gasoline
Little did you know I took a match to the gasoline no
So now you're going up in smoke
I hope you're happy
I was your test drive (I was your, I was your test drive)
I was your test drive
C3
I was your test drive
Teach you all the ways, let you make mistakes
I was your first try
I showed you real love 'til you got your confidence up
Now she's your joy ride
I was your test drive
So now it's goodbye
I was your test drive

Intro
I hid your toothbrush this morning
Like you were never in my bed
I think it’s too much, too soon
To be falling in love again…
V1
You might be 6’6” with a brand new Jeep
The calm and cool type of college athlete
You had your hair pulled back before it was mainstream
You might be perfect, but I don’t think I’m ready
C1
‘Cause I hid your toothbrush this morning
Like you were never in my bed
I think it’s too much, too soon to be falling in love again
I know you left it on purpose to keep you in my head
I hid your toothbrush ‘cause I can’t
Fall in love again
V2
You like to keep my body close when we’re walking
Green eyes locked onto mine when we’re talking
You have a tendency of telling me
To let this be what it’s meant to be, but
You might be worth it, but I don’t think I’m ready
C2
‘Cause I hid your toothbrush this morning
Like you were never in my bed
I think it’s too much, too soon to be falling in love again
I know you left it on purpose to keep you in my head
I hid your toothbrush ‘cause I can’t
Fall in love again
Bridge
…Fall in love
With the first thing that’s working since I was broken apart
With a comfortable, reliable hand to hold this heart
And if I’m honest, you’re better than sleeping alone
I know you won’t end it over the phone
Even if you and me are destined to be
I can’t have anything reminding me of
Everything I’m still missing desperately
When I see another toothbrush next to the sink
If it’s out of my sight, I’ll be able to breathe
I hope that you don’t take it personally
C3
But I hid your toothbrush this morning
The minute after you left
I think it’s too much, too soon
To be falling in love again
I know you left it on purpose, to keep you in my head
But I hid your toothbrush ‘cause I can’t
fall in love… again
Falling in love, I can’t be falling in love
I can’t, no I can’t, fall in love, no
So I hid your toothbrush

V1
You’re fast, I’m quicker
Steady flame, you’re a flicker
We were running, we running like a river
Like a river
I was fallin’, you’re winter
Steady pace, you’re a sprinter
Now we’re running, now we’re running out of river
Out of river
Just like love it starts out nice and slow
Just like love we’ve got so far to go
C1
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
I wanna love you longer but not like this
We can’t keep pushing father, we can’t keep looking higher
We’re drowning in the water, running out of, out of river
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
Running out of…
V2
Fill my cup so I hope less
Hold me up, leave me ropeless
Give me everything, everything so I go less
Every no yes, every no yes
Keep me high, I’m never solo
You built a damn, but I lost my flow
Now I’m breaking breaking breaking through the cold stone
Let it go, let it go, let me go
C2
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
I wanna love you longer but not like this
We can’t keep pushing father, we can’t keep looking higher
We’re drowning in the water, running out of, out of river
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
Running out of…
Bridge
Just like love it starts out nice and slow
Just like love we’ve got so far to go
Just like love it started nice and slow
But if we jump we’ve got nowhere to go
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
I wanna love you longer but not like this
C3
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
I wanna love you longer but not like this
We can’t keep pushing father, I just keep holding tighter
You’re too afraid to say we’re running out of, out of river
I wanna jump but baby we can’t swim
We’re running out of river
Out of river
Mhmm

V1
I couldn’t move, saw it there across the room
Saw your name, top corner ink, it’s too soon
Half of me had hoped you’d lost my address
The other half an uncontrollable mess
You kept the photos and the key
Why did you let go of me?
C2
I’m falling apart in my apartment
On the floor of my room, locked door, pictures of you
Covered in teardrops, counting the years lost
Cut the tape, open up, like I did when you played tough
But when I think I’ve hurt enough
You send a box of my stuff folded up
V2
These days, nothing feels the same
But your handwriting hasn’t changed
And the way you tucked the sleeves inside
The perfect fit, your hand in mine
These days, nothing feels the same
Every month was once a rose
Now you’re sending back my clothes
C2
And I’m falling apart in my apartment
On the floor of my room, locked door, pictures of you
Covered in teardrops, counting the years lost
Cut the tape, open up, like you did when you were drunk
But when I think I’ve cried enough
You send a box of my stuff folded up
Bridge
You took my things off of the shelf
Signed your name with nothing else
Now I’m left here with my, with myself
This is hell, this is hell, this is hell
You’re probably pacing back and forth
Questioning all this was worth
Did you expect a simple text?
Did you change the “babe” to “ex” in your phone?
I’d tell you no, but you won’t hear from me anymore
C3
‘Cause I’m falling apart in my apartment
On the floor of my room, locked door, pictures of you
Are covered in teardrops, I’m counting the years lost
Cut the tape, open up, thought maybe I’d be tough
But when I think I’m strong enough
You send a box of my stuff folded up
You send a box in case I forgot
We broke up

V1
Empathy
Working on having a bit more empathy
The story’s so much deeper than what I can see
Listening before I open up to speak, enough of me
Recovery
January stripped away the best in me
Had to find the beauty in the rest of me
Picking up the pieces of what’s left of me, building a better me
C1
I don’t mean to think about you lately
But I do, but I do
I don’t wanna relive all these memories
Made with you, made with you
When you call me up to ask me back
I let it ring with tears held back
You don’t know me lately
I am better, better without you
Better without you
V2
Delaware
All of this, it all comes back in Delaware
Our fortress made of cobblestone held secrets there
Falling in and out of love too hard to care
Something we’ll always share
C2
I don’t mean to think about you lately
But I do, but I do
I don’t wanna relive all these memories
Made with you, made with you
When you call me up to ask me back
I let it ring with tears held back
You don’t know me lately
I am better, better without you
Better without you
Better without you
Better without you
Bridge
I’ve had time to grow my friendships without you, without you
Invested in my music without you, without you
I’m playing New York City without you, without you
I’m seeing what the truth is without you, without you
You didn’t think it’d be forever without you, without you
But everyday keeps getting better
C3
I don’t mean to think about you lately
But I do (but I do) but I do (but I do)
I don’t wanna relive all these memories
Made with you (made with you) made with you (made with you)
When you call me up to ask me back
I let it ring, no turning back
You still think I’m crazy
About you (about you) about you (about you)
But you don’t know me lately
I am better, better without you
Better without you
