Massachusetts Avenue Lyrics - Singles - Amanda Palmer

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 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
