Miss Kennedy

[Verse 1]
As we're driving out of Austin, I can still smell your perfume
I contemplate turnin' around every inch or two
My vision's kind of hazy, I don't look well at all
I don't believe I've ever felt so small

[Verse 2]
You come over to say hello in the brightest of the lights
I'm so impressed, you look your best without an ounce of trying
I make light of a picture and you're leaving with your friends
And I've no doubt that I'll never see you again

[Chorus]
But you may deceive me, but you made me try
To make-believe in that there's something more
We can't ignore but nothing we can do

[Verse 3]
Making up for lost time, I'm trying to catch up fast
Well, I begin to see you and me through rose-colored glass
I'm unsure how this plays out, well I feel so out of place
One wrong move and I'll be through, you'll surely walk away

[Verse 4]
'Cause you remind me of the good times
When I was a younger man
When we were free and dumb
But having fun in a band

[Chorus]
But you may deceive me, but you made me try
To make-believe in that there's something more
We can't ignore but nothing we can do

[Bridge]
And now I'm praying that you'll somehow
Have memories of grand
My lack of style, your steady smile
The way you held my hand
Because I'm scared of what you're thinking
And I'm scared I'm always wrong
But does it matter now as I'm leaving town
I'll be gone for so, so long
So you'll go on living your life
And I'll take care of mine
But you were once with me, Miss Kennedy
And you're so divine

[Chorus]
But you may deceive me, yeah but you made me try
To make-believe in that there's something more
We can't ignore but nothing we can do
Yeah, there's something more we can't ignore
But nothing we can do
