I watched the sun come up on Portland   I waved goodbye to all my friends   I packed my car and headed to LA   I gave away all my loose ends      Somebody said you gotta get away   To wanna go back home again   I left my universe standing there   Holding the hand of my best friend      And it's laughter that I feel when I think of you   It's one more dusty rose about to turn   I'll see you when I reach New Mexico   If I'm in the mood to crash and burn      I wrote a letter that I never mailed   I rehearsed a dialogue in my head   In case you ever wanted to track me down   I'll take my cell phone to bed      And it's laughter that I hear when I close my eyes   And it's one more punchline I forgot to learn   I call you up when my bottle's dry   I'm on my way to crash and burn      Antigone laid across the road   And let a mack truck leave her there for dead   Just because her lover split the scene   Well love might be great but why lose your head      Well, it's laughter that comes up when I cry for you   And my heart may break again before it learns   And I might be stupid enough to want to fall again   Cause I've gotten use to the crash and burn   I say I've gotten use to the crash and burn      Crash and burn   Crash Crash   Crash and burn
