David Byrne Drivers License Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I got my driver's license last week
Just like we always talked about
'Cause you were so excited for me
To finally drive up to your house
Today, I drove through the suburbs cryin'
'Cause you weren't around

[Verse 2]
And you're probably with that blond boy
The one who always made me doubt
He's so much younger than me
Everything I'm insecure about
Today, I drove through the suburbs
'Cause how could I ever love someone else?

[Chorus]
And I know we werеn't perfect, but I nevеr felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

[Verse 3]
And all my friends are tired
Hearin' how much I miss you, but
I kinda feel sorry for them
They'll never know you the way that I do
Yeah, today, I drove through the suburbs
And I pictured I was driving home to you [Chorus]
And I know we weren't perfect, but I never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

[Bridge]
Red lights, stop signs
I still see your face in the white cars, front yards
Can't drive by the places we used to go to
'Cause I still f*ckin' love you, babe
Sidewalks we crossed
I still hear your voice in the traffic, laughin'
Over all the noise
God, I'm so blue, we're through
But I still f*ckin' love you, babe

[Chorus]
And I know we weren't perfect, but I never felt this way for no one
And I just can't imagine how you could be okay now that I'm gone
Guess you didn't mean what you wrote in that song about me
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street

[Outro]
'Cause you said forever, now I drive alone past your street
