AM Taxi - Chelsea lyrics

[Verse 1] Chelsea pours the contents from the suitcase to the bed Shakes her head and packs it up again After renovated teeth, she swears anyone can leave here The hard part is knowing when Yeah, we dance to the traffic where the DuPage River pa**es All the bars she can't go into anymore I guess when every pissed off bouncer in every pissed on club Knows your name It hardly ever gets you far [Refrain] She said, "I've been in this place now for weeks Out where the trains never shake me to sleep" We could build a great lake and cool off this town If you fall, then I'll follow you down [Verse 2] Chelsea combs the mattress for something else that matches Her boss wants her to stay in style He bought her a brand new Cadillac She said, "I won't take a bribe, but I'll drive one around for a while" And on the coldest of evenings She flew out like a hummingbird It got down to the negative teens that night But by then she climbing her upper twenties With double on the rocks Out of Midway on a one-way flight [Refrain] She said, "I've been on this island for weeks Out where the waves never wash me to sleep" I'll fall in love if it k**s me or leaves me to drown If you die, then I'll follow you down [Chorus] Chelsea, I heard things about you I don't want to believe But maybe I could look out for you if you look out for me You could start over somewhere if it helps And I could try with someone else Chelsea, I can look out for you if you look out for me Look out [Verse 3] Chelsea drags her suitcase into cool, harsh light She came back home on a red eye flight And she found me where she left me About halfway down a bottle Writing songs for negative teens tonight When I get done with work, she'll be working up to gin She says, "I don't know how you can live in the dark" But somewhere underneath that leather jacket beats a leather heart And it beats and it beats and it pulls me apart [Refrain] She said, "I've been in this town now for years And all these stories could bring you to tears" We could cut all these waves down to size We could hold onto time when it flies [Chorus] Chelsea, I heard things about you I don't want to believe But maybe I could look out for you if you could look out for me You could start over somewhere if it helps And I could try with someone else Chelsea, I can look out for you if you look out for me Chelsea, I can look out for you if you look out for me
