HANDS ON THE DASH

Was internet-famous at seventeen for the wrong thing and made an aesthetic out of it

the run

Honest use case: listeners who appreciate a dark, atmospheric, and emotionally charged portrayal of a relationship's end, with a strong female perspective.

Exhibit:You've got a nice car and a nice life and a nice girl / And I'm the road behind the reservoir. I know what I am.

lyrics

(hands on the dash)

Pulled over on the road behind the reservoir at midnight
Engine off, radio on, and the windows going white
And you asked if I was sure and I laughed in your fucking face
I've been sure since March, you're the one who's been deciding

Take the good hand off the wheel
There is nowhere left to drive to
The road ends here, it's been ending here for months

Hands on the dash, hands on the dash
Stop asking me questions you already know the answer to
Hands on the dash, hands on the dash
The car's not going anywhere and neither the fuck are we

You've got a nice car and a nice life and a nice girl
And I'm the road behind the reservoir. I know what I am.

Hands on the dash, hands on the dash
Stop asking me questions you already know the answer to
Hands on the dash, hands on the dash
The car's not going anywhere and neither the fuck are we

(neither are we)
