Last night I built a bonfire in the kitchen sink
I burned my driver’s license and my social security card
I’m gonna move to Europe, I’m gonna leave my girlfriend
I’m gonna change my name, I’m starting over

I’ll drive to the Amtrak station, buy a ticket to New York
Leave my car at the Amtrak station, no more payments ever again
I’m gonna move to Europe, I’m gonna leave my girlfriend
I’m gonna change my name, I’m starting over

I’m too far under to stick around and get it straight
Maybe some other place I won’t repeat the same mistakes

Eventually they’ll find my car, clean it and sell it to someone else
Eventually they’ll unlock my apartment, clean it and rent it to someone else
Eventually the letters will stop coming, eventually the telephone will stop ringing
Eventually people will forgive me, eventually people will forget me
I’m gonna move to Europe, I’m gonna leave my girlfriend
I’m gonna change my name, I’m starting over
