About a Canadian girl I used to know, we did a road trip up to Vancouver from LA...this is a fictional phone conversation with her Dad, Ray.

lyrics

Hello Ray, I'm in love with your daughter
I'm trying to fight it but still
I know she could do much better
I'm sure she probably will

We've been driving all night now
Through the rain and the snow
She just stares out the window, Ray
I think she already knows

So tell me something about her, Ray
Something to make me turn away
I cant be in love with her right now
Or if you've got a second, Ray
Maybe something to make her stay
She might be the one that could figure me out
How about it, Ray?

We've been driving for days now
We'll be in Vancouver by dawn
Not sure what i will do then
I guess I'll just move on
But sometimes she gets so quiet, Ray
And I can see that shes in pain
I ask her whats wrong and she shakes her head
And she never does explain

So can you give me a clue here, Ray
I'm running out of things to say
And this is not a usual problem of mine
I could be making a big mistake
So tell me what to avoid here, Ray
I'm starting to think that without her
My sun wont shine
Help me out, Ray

How about it, Ray?
