Lyrics & Translation

[English]

oh hey mrs. man Hannah's not here she is

some setting up for the festival

what's the bag screwdriver I

accidentally packed it and in when do

you think I'd made off with your stuff

so what are you saying well for the next

few nights on a bus I mean way to

Arizona does Hannah know you're leaving

I don't expect her over you'd throw me a

going-away party all I know is my

daughter's sitting in a dark room

listening to Elliott Smith on a loop I

don't know what happened between you two

what'd it matter you were never really

my biggest fan well that's because I

didn't want to see my daughter listening

to Elliott Smith on a loop I'm not

judging

I think she's lucky maybe if I had a mom

like you I wouldn't be sleeping on a bus

and making up the rules as I go along

[Music]

can you give this to her

you should go to the festival and give

it to her yourself

Hannah doesn't need one more guy in her

life leaving without saying goodbye

don't look now but sketches at 12

o'clock I cannot deal with him right now

just don't tell me means

[Music]

we're not open for business yet

I know Hannah's mom so just to stuff out

any idea when she'll be back probably

when you leave do you really hurt her

Kayla

[Music]

make sure she business

[Music]

what do you want change for 20

gimme with tape

[Music]

he's sweaty how's it going good

did Caleb come by nope haven't seen him

oh he came by the house I think he

wanted to say goodbye

he's leaving rosewood he is

well good riddance what do you call that

mom some bad boys are just that bad the

thing is I was wrong

but if it makes a difference my first

impression of him was way off what are

you saying now that you didn't see

before

myself

she answering I have no idea

is he going somewhere I don't know

Arizona who cares hey hey let's go over

there and say something go before he

does

I can't come on Emily's way to press

[Music]
