Hit and Run

Once you walked a lonesome road
Snapped stilettos in your hand
Crunch of rocks between your toes
The headlights swam
And your makeup ran
You were lost but found a way
Through this cloud of revelry
You're only happy when you're lonely
You're only happy when you're free

It struck me like a hit and run
With a girl and a gun
A pair of cat-eyed shades
Slipping down her nose
With a dirty joke
And a pack of smokes--
Naw you shouldn't have
But I'll take one anyway
From the one that got away

I found your book of Baudelaire
(You know i did you know I did you know I)
I pick it up from time to time
(I pick it up from time to time)
You never stray far from my mind
Remember when we almost left it all behind

Like a hit and run
With a girl and a gun
A pair of cat-eyed shades
Slipping down her nose
With a dirty look
And an old match book
You poured a trail of gas
And laughed at the flames

You're the one that got away

End of the road
Remember singing along
To Bridgette Bardot
Je t'aime de toute mon âme

Bridgette Bardot
The music's fading (oh no)
Headlights passing in the distance
I wish I'd seized the instance to just call you back
I wish I'd called you back
Well, nevermind
