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
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
