http://www.NeptunesCar.com Written and performed by Holly Hanson.

Because breaking up is hard to do but moving on is even harder. Read the story behind the song here: http://bit.ly/muxXic

The Last Orange

Well, I was ruined in this dark. They say once I had a heart.
Now, it's just some broken, mixed up part.
This is how the heart works.
A ticking time bomb under our shirts.
Wired to the get-away car.

Chorus:
So, my core turned to iron. My heart exploded like a star.
I could not hold myself against these forces. (I) was a black hole being born,
A tall building in a thunderstorm,
A dark soul that you can't reform. This is how the heart works.

You have such a pull on me. Please remember me.
At least something's calling me even if it's only the road.
We keep orbiting each other. Like a planet and its moon.
But, I knew you once. We shared these rooms.

Chorus:
So, my core turned to iron. My heart exploded like a star.
I could not hold myself against these forces. (I) was a black hole being born,
A tall building in a thunderstorm,
A dark soul that you can't reform. This is how the heart works.

Bridge:
All that's left are some random pictures and a tape cassette,
The last orange, and empty rooms chock-full of regret.
And, who am I kidding? It's time to start liv'n outside my mind.
Twenty years later, gonna hop that freighter, leave it all behind.

Chorus:
And, my core turned to iron. My heart exploded like a star.
I could not hold myself against these forces. (I) was a black hole being born,
A tall building in a thunderstorm,
A dark soul that you can't reform. This is how the heart works.
This is how the heart works.
