Solo

from Road Trip by Amanda McCarthy

lyrics

Your voice still echoes inside my car radio
Still spinning a forgotten soundtrack
From the nights only we would know
And it wouldn't have been such a bitter end
If I just could've called you my friend

(Chorus)
But now the stereo is silent and the music only plays
In the few remaining photographs I've been staring at for days
You'll still hear me singing even though the song is through
I guess I'm flying solo, but it all sounded better with you

Your voice still echoes, but I can't see you in the crowd
Our skies once filled with rainbows
Have faded away to gray along with the clouds
And though you caused it, I'll take it all in stride
'Cause tomorrow's the greatest day of my life

(Chorus)

Like an astronaut under the sea, I feel so out of place
And I miss the boy who'd sing with me when the sunset seized the day
But the summer nights grew colder, and you foolishly bolder
I know I'm getting older, but I'm still looking over my shoulder

Now the stereo is silent and the music only plays
In the same three fucking photographs
They're driving me insane
If you find me in the crowd, you don't have to say my name
If you give me just one smile
I'll pretend we're still the same
And all I need is your melody on repeat for one more day

I guess I'm flying solo
But it all sounded better with you
