"Interstate 5"

I should just get out of here
But I'm stuck driving south on Interstate 5.
Oh but I need to stay near
In case you suddenly remember that I'm alive

I had this nagging fear
That sex was all you needed.
I tried to persevere;
I guess I've not succeeded.

And is it sexist to say
That I thought just boys were meant to behave in this way?
Although you seemed quite sincere,
Will you even recognize my face this time next year?

But I'll remember how your eyes
Sparkled in the moonlight
You can surely sympathize;
I just wanted more than one night.

And yes there was one particular glance
That made me afraid
That you were just seeing me as a chance
of getting laid.

"Interstate 5" by the Wedding Present from the epic album "Take Fountain" 2004 Scopitones Records. Lyrics and music by David Gedge. Produced by Steve Fisk and David Gedge.
