Bradford Pears & Open Air

[Verse 1]
Sun’s out
Car’s in the driveway
Playlist jumping like it knows my name
Got that first warm day on the highway
Windows down
I’m finally feeling sane
Till I hit that stretch by the mall there
White blooms lining up like a parade
Spring looks sweet
But I’m aware
This is where my sinuses get played
[Chorus]
Going for a drive in the spring breeze
Singing off-key
Doing what I please
Eyes start watering
Oh help me please
’Cause love is in the air
(and so are Bradford pears)
Rolling through town
Just trying to feel free
Laughing while the pollen’s out to get me
Yeah
Life’s kinda sweet
Kinda allergy
On this drive in the spring breeze
[Verse 2]
Pulled up
Grabbed an iced something
Barista draws a flower in the foam
Cute girl waves
I’d say one thing
But my nose starts running on its own
I’m sneezing like I’m throwing confetti
Real smooth
What a charming guy
She laughs
Says “You okay there
Buddy?”
“I’m good
It’s just romance in my eyes”
[Chorus]
Going for a drive in the spring breeze
Singing off-key
Doing what I please
Eyes start watering
Oh help me please
’Cause love is in the air
(and so are Bradford pears)
Rolling through town
Just trying to feel free
Laughing while the pollen’s out to get me
Yeah
Life’s kinda sweet
Kinda allergy
On this drive in the spring breeze
[Bridge]
One hand on the wheel
Other hand on the tissues
Every bend in the road
Got some floral issues
But I’ll take the cough
The sniff
The sneeze
For a day like this
For a sky like these
[Chorus]
Going for a drive in the spring breeze
Singing off-key
Doing what I please
Eyes still watering
But I’m at ease
’Cause life is in the air
(and curse those Bradford pears)
Rolling through town
Just letting it be
All my little flaws out riding with me
Yeah
Life’s kinda sweet
Kinda allergy
On this drive in the spring breeze

Laid-back verse groove with tight drums and warm bass; chorus lifts with layered harmonies, tambourine, and bright piano doubles on the hook. Light, playful energy with a wry smile; middle-eight strips to guitar and vocal before a full-band, windows-down final chorus., pop, soft rock
