I heard the sound of your bike
as your wheels hit the gravel
then your engine in the driveway, cutting off
I pushed the screen door
and I stood out on the porch
thinking fight fight fight at all costs

But instead I let you in
just like I’ve always done
And I sat you down an offered you a beer
And across the kitchen table
I fired several rounds
And you were still sitting there
when the smoke cleared

And you came crawling back to say
you want to make good in the end
And oh oh, let me count the ways, that I abhor, you
And you were never a good lay
And you were never a good friend
But oh oh, oh what can I say
I adore, you

All I need is my leather
one t-shirt and two socks
I'll keep my hands warm in your pockets
and you can use the engine block
and we'll ride off to California
with my arms around your chest
And I'll pretend that this is real
Cuz this is what I like best

You've been juggling two women
like a stupid circus clown
telling us both we are the one
and maybe you can keep me
from ever being happy
but you're not going to stop me
from having fun

So let's go, before I change my mind
I'll leave the luggage of all your lies behind
'Cuz I am bigger than everything that came before
You were never very kind
and you let me way down every time
And oh oh what can I say
I adore, you

I heard the sound of your bike
as your wheels hit the gravel
and your engine in the driveway, cutting off
