Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Know I run away just to cope with a bad day
And don't wanna say goodbye on the phone
And I know you'll wait around when you pick me up at 7
But babes, when I get in the car, just go

[Pre-Chorus]
I've been wasting time searching
Never in on the joke
I think taking my time is running in circles
And I feel bored when I'm home alone but

[Chorus]
We can drive your car to Dallas
And we can plan the weekend in 7/11
Tell me how you live with your parents
And we can drive away from this adolescence
We can go to dinner in Paris
And we'll be trends in fashion like Jackie Onassis
I'll keep taking antidepressants
And we can drive away from this adolescence

[Verse 2]
Know you think it's funny when I fuck with your dad jokes
And I know you wanna laugh when you don't
'Cause working at home making 14 an hour
But when we drive round town, we can ride 'til we're broke
[Pre-Chorus]
I'll spend my whole life searching
Make me feel like a joke
I think making money to waste all your time
Just, never feels like enough, ah, but

[Chorus]
We can drive your car to Dallas (We can go, we can go!)
And we can plan the weekend in 7/11 (7/11)
Tell me how you live with your parents (With your parents)
And we can drive away from this adolescence
We can go to dinner in Paris (Let's escargot, baby)
And we'll be trends in fashion like Jackie Onassis (Jackie Onassis)
I'll keep taking antidepressants ('Cause I'm depressed)
And we can drive away from this adolescence

[Bridge]
We can be like Jackie Onassis and wear big glasses
And only fly private to fit our
Baggage 'cause we're overdramatic, and the world is ending
So fuck the environment, baby
We can go to dinner in Paris and spend our advances
Who cares about money and finances?
I'll keep taking antidepressants and count my blessings
I've learnt my lesson
[Outro]
We can go to dinner in Paris (Let's escargot, baby)
And we'll be trends in fashion like Jackie Onassis (Jackie Onassis)
I'll keep taking antidepressants ('Cause I'm depressed)
And we can drive away from this adolescence (This adolescence)
We can be like Jackie Onassis and wear big glasses
And only fly private to fit our (Onassis)
Baggage 'cause we're overdramatic, and the world is ending
So fuck the environment, baby
We can go to dinner in Paris and spend our advances (Ooh)
Who cares about money and finances? (Money and finances)
I'll keep taking antidepressants and count my blessings (Onassis)
I've learnt my lessonEmbed
