Dashboard Confession Songtext
von Moncrieff

The story goes, "I′m only out tonight to find a body"
She's heard it all before, I′m told she don't feel anybody
But I love a challenge and she likes a fistfight

My cards are on the table, ain't just idle conversation
About the past, I know that she won′t tell if I don′t ask
I thought I was winnin' when she was halfway to runnin′ me down

I always talk first, but who's got it worse?
Tread softly on these dreams, she′s
So scared to get hurt

But I'll drown in the deep before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I′m leavin' town tomorrow mornin'
Then she said to me that she′s 23 and there′s no master plan
She just needs a friend


She keeps her uncle's hunting knife beside the driver seat
She′ll blame it all on God, the state, her mom, the People's Army
It′s just a reflection, a dashboard confession

I always talk first, but who's got it worse?
Tread softly on these dreams, she′s
So scared to get hurt

But I'll drown in the deep before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leavin′ town tomorrow mornin′
Then she said to me that she's 23 and there′s no master plan
She just needs a

Friend through her perfectly flawed design (oh, oh, oh)
In this big picture, where'd you draw your line? (I know I′ll)

Drown in the deep before I live my life in shallow waters
So damn the details when I'm leavin′ town tomorrow mornin'
Then she said to me that (oh-oh) she's 23 and (oh-oh) there′s no master plan
When buildin′ up means breakin' down again
She don′t want sympathy (ooh-ooh) or pretend to be sad (ooh-ooh)
To get the end, she, she just needs a


Whoa (yeah, she just needs), whoa, whoa
