Mulholland Drive Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Did you sleep last night and do you remember dreams?
Do I ever cross your mind and do you ever think of me?
When you think about your life, are there things you would reverse?
I still remember holding you just out of sight of her

[Verse 2]
In the deep dark parking lot, pressed up against my car
With your hands around my neck I felt the pounding of your heart
And the summer night was giving in to the lure of autumn’s sway
And I can’t seem to forget that night or how I heard you say

[Chorus]
Oh, that I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Oh, and I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Would you miss me if I was gone
And all the simple things were lost?
Would you ever wait on me to say
Oh, that I’d just die if you ever took your love away?

[Verse 2]
And I can still recall the hour when you first let down your walls
And I thought I might've died right there, floating up above it all
But it scared you love, to need someone, so you killed it all instead
But in the mist up on Mulholland, I could've sworn I heard you say
[Chorus]
Oh, that I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Oh, and I would just die if you ever took your love away
Did you miss me when I was gone
And the simple things we lost?
I was aching to hear you say
Oh, that I’d just die if you ever took your love away

[Chorus]
Oh, that I'd just die if you ever took your love away
Oh, and I would just die if you ever took your love away
Did you miss me when I was gone
And the simple things we lost?
I was aching to hear you say
Oh, that I’d just die if you ever took your love away

[Outro]
And did you miss me when I was gone?
And the simple things we used to rely on?
Who came to wipe your tears away?
Who came to bring back your dignity, baby?
And who came to drive you around this town
Like I used to drive you all around with the radio on
Through the mist on Mulholland

How to Format Lyrics:

  • 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 [?]

Genius Annotation

The fourth track on 2012’s Handwritten.

Named after the 2001 film by David Lynch, Brian Fallon cites the movie as one of his favorites, and found inspiration for the song in the plot of the film.

“You don’t know if the characters in the movie are dead or the roles are reversed or who’s who, and I remember feeling like that in this one particular relationship that I had where I was, ‘I don’t know where my head’s at here.’”
