Topanga (Voice Memo) Lyrics

[Chorus 1]
I can't drive Topanga anymore
’Cause it reminds me of you
Said we'd buy a big house there someday
But we never got to
'Cause you, and me, and life got in the way
I can’t drive Topanga home today

[Verse 1]
I can't wash with that soap anymore
Because it just smells just like you
And I still got your shirts tucked in the drawer
Because they smell just like you
Hopes, and dreams, and the promises we made
Down the drain, they all got washed away

[Bridge]
Funny how we're strangers now and we're different
And the strengths of time could turn sweet love to indifference
Yeah, I guessed we lied when you and I said, "We would try to focus on forgiveness"
And I can't forget it

[Verse 2]
One of our friends say you got a girl
And that she looks just like me
Calabasas, too small of a world
But I don't wanna see it
So I'll stay inside, where I know that I'm safe
’Cause you only live a couple miles away
[Chorus 2]
I don’t drive Topanga anymore
'Cause it reminds me of you
Smoking and singing love songs in the garden
Like we always used to
And I drive by, I turn my eyes and hide
’Cause when I pass Topanga, now I cry

[Outro]
'Cause Topanga just reminds me of you and I
Yeah, T is for Topanga in my mind
T is for Topanga in my mind
Topanga in my mind

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

About

This song bio is unreviewed
Genius Annotation

The song describes the “after” of a toxic relationship and how you can’t do things you used to, can’t go to places you used to or use products you used to, because they all remind you of that person that you’re trying to forget as hard as you can. The fact that it’s just a Voice Memo and you can hear crickets in the background make it feel so much more personal.
