405 Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I took the 405 and drilled a stake down into your center
And stated that it's never ever been better than this
I hung my favorite shirt on the floorboard, wrinkled up
From pulling pushing and tasting, tasting


[Chorus]
You keep twisting the truth
That keeps me thrown askew

[Verse 2]
Misguided by the 405, 'cause it lead me to an alcoholic summer
I missed the exit to your parents' house hours ago
Red wine and the cigarettes
Hide your bad habits underneath the patio, patio, patio, patio


[Chorus]
You keep twisting the truth
That keeps me thrown askew
You keep twisting the truth
That keeps me thrown askew

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
