about

Pia's debut single about nostalgia, growing up, and not wanting to move out of her old college apartment.

lyrics

you pick me up and drop me off
marcus market parking lot
show you round and take you down
where i spent six years in midtown

we all lived on second street
i saw you too much for me
the river walk the bicycle
my sweaty back now it’s so cold

we drove in circles until we found a spot
living here is hard, you forgot

i laughed and brushed it off feeling like a stranger
and said thanks for trying to save me but i like to put myself in danger

used to play music at church
saw kevin every sunday mornin
at the cardboard coffee talks
found out what he did last week

haven’t been since they shut down
now i work on sunday morning
never asking for a ride
and don’t know what he did last week

the other day i cried for an hour in my car
near that karaoke dive bar

i laughed and brushed it off feeling like a stranger
and said thanks for trying to save me but i like to put myself in danger

i'm not sure that anyone can save her
