405 Arrangement & Lyrics

 

Intro x4

 

Verse 1:

I took the 405 and drilled a stake down into your center,

and stated that it's never ever been better than this.

 

Transition Riff

 

Verse 1:

I hung my favorite shirt on the floorboard, wrinkled up

from pulling, pushing and tasting, tasting.

 

Transition Riff

 

 

Intro x2

 

Verse 2:

Misguided by the 405 'cause it lead me to an alcoholic summer.

I missed the exit to your parents' house hours ago.

 

Transition Riff

 

Verse 2:

Red wine and the cigarettes,

Hide your bad habits underneath the patio, patio, patio, patio.

 

Repeat Chorus x2

 

Intro x4
