Genevieve Lyrics by The Shackletons

2018

[Chorus]
It's just you and me, and Genevieve
You're the kite, and she's the key
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
[Verse 1]
I do my best impression of someone who has something soothing to say
"Hey, I promise everything will be okay"
I drive us out to Rosedale Mall
Just to prove there's nothing to do
We both take turns picking songs, and then we cruise
Oh, yeah, [?] we cruise
[Chorus]
You and me, and Genevieve
You're the kite, and she's the key
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
'Cause you and her are both paper birds
Unfolded once, now creased to hell
My fat fingers are tryin' to make this work
[Verse 2]
We drive on [?] through the night
She sings along with every word
To "Paradise by Dashboard Lights" from end to start
Even the baseball part
[Chorus]
You and me, and Genevieve
You're the kite, and she's the key
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
'Cause you and her are both paper birds
Unfolded once, now creased to hell
My fat fingers are tryin' to make this work
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
It's just you and me, and Genevieve
You're the kite, and she's the key
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
[Chorus]
It's just you and me, and Genevieve
You're the kite, and she's the key
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
[Outro]
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
And I'm the fool who's tryin' to fly this thing
