[Instrumental Intro]
[Verse 1]
I wrote a goodbye note in lipstick on your arm
When you passed out
I couldn't bring myself to call
Except to call it quits
[Chorus]
Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers and not the other way around
Racing through the city, windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars
[Post-Chorus]
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
[Verse 2]
This city says, "come hell or high water"
Well, I'm feeling hot and wet
I can't commit to a thing
Be it heart or hospital
[Chorus]
Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers and not the other way around
Racing through the city, windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars
[Post-Chorus]
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
[Bridge]
The tombstones were waiting, they were half-engraved
They knew it was over, they just didn't know the date...
And I cast a spell over the west to make you think of me
The same way I think of you
This is a love song in my own way
Happily ever after below the waist
[Chorus]
Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers
Racing through the city, windows down
In the back of yellow checkered cars
[Post-Chorus]
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
Yo-ho-ho, whoa
Oh, yo-ho-ho, whoa
[Outro]
Best friends, ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as lovers and not the other way around
Ex-friends 'til the end
Better off as yo-ho-ho-oh
