lyrics
Come pick me up, my heart's been repo'ed
Is this how it feels to be in love alone?
Turning, twisting, my heart's thrown around
You're not listening to me
Up on Mission Hill
It's you who's laughing at the sky
All is still
As I come to another reason why
That if you don't get the hurt it's clear
It's time to leave you here
And I will, I will, I will
Up on Mission Hill
Like the end of that flick when the ship was sinking
And that chick named Rose let Leo drown
Freezing, sinking, my heart's going down
But it stopped beating for you
Up on Mission Hill
It's you who's laughing at the sky
All is still
As I come to another reason why
That if you don't get the hurt it's clear
It's time to leave you here
And I will, I will, I will
Up on Mission Hill
Distance makes the heart grow fonder
So I held on from afar
If absense made your heart grow stronger
Why was he driving and why were you riding in his car?
Come pick me up, my heart's been repo'ed
Up on Mission Hill
It's you who's laughing at the sky
All is still
As I come to another reason why
That no matter what I say a part of me will always stay
Yes it will, it will, it will
Up on Mission Hill
Oh it will, it will
Up on Mission Hill
Oh I will, I will
Leave you up on Mission Hill
