Massachusetts Avenue

Every time I walk along this street, I think of you
 And given it's the city's major thoroughfare, I'm screwed
 Taking an alternative's a little hard to do
 It's the street I live on
 Massachusetts Avenue
 ♪
 There's the crosswalk where a milk truck almost ran me down
 The day I finally saw you when you got back into town
 I don't know if you saw me, 'cause I turned so quick around
 Hiding into traffic, clearly dying to be found
 ♪
 Do you remember crying in the park and shutting up?
 Do you remember running and me trying to catch up?
 Do you remember loving me more than I could be loved?
 I chased you for so long, and when I caught you, I gave up
 ♪
 There's no other way to get to work
 After all these years, it just gets worse
 Memories so dull and well-rehearsed
 Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
 Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
 You don't have go home in a straight line
 You don't have to go back home at all
 ♪
 There's the cemetery where I broke your heart in two
 And there's the pair of stones that we had laughed was me and you
 I stared at them a long time, and I asked if it was true
 If I still really loved you
 And they answered
 Yes, I do
 (I do)
 People come and go, but these four lanes will never move
 Little peach and exes' Jeeps eventually die, too
 Even if the russians came and named it something new
 It would always look like Massachusetts Avenue
 ♪
 Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
 Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
 You don't have go home in a straight line
 You don't have to go back home at all
 Storrow Drive is pretty in the springtime
 Storrow Drive is pretty in the fall
 You don't have go home in a straight line
 You don't need to be alone at all
