Fast Car

I hope some night, you'll be reading off this page

Can you hear me in the street light, breathing out your name?

A dark emotion left me broken, tied around my head

Tied so tight, there's not a feeling left

Maybe I should leave, to reach a state of inner peace

I know that it is hard, understandin' you and me

Our family is broken, our family is gone

I'm writin' this letter to tell you, I can't carry on

By the time we meet again

It may not be me, my friend

I'll be someone else

Uh, heart so shattered that I can hardly sleep

The only time I see your face is invested in a dream

I try to forget you, inside I am torn (I'll be someone else)

Although you are heartbroken, I am heartbroken more

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again

Maybe I can open up and tell you what is on my mind

Better things are comin', I don't wanna bring you down this time

In a room that's adjacent, I felt the soft placement

Of your palms on the wall, your nail trace a new life

Somewhere outside this bitter-tasting home

Where can we forget this life, and its amplifying tone

Is this where I belong?  Is this the right path?

I wish that I could stay, but I'm not comin' back

By the time we meet again

It may not be me, my friend

I'll be someone else

There is no way to take back my actions

Everything is marred, smeared into the blackness

The deadness of the wind and the whispering moon (I'll be someone else)

If there is a heaven, I will see you there soon

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again

And I am heartbroken more

And I am heartbroken more

When you get home, you'll find a letter

Gonna be better, better this way

When I'm gone, change of weather, I'll be better

When you get home, you'll find a letter

Gonna be better, better this way

When I'm gone, change of weather, I'll be better

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again

The only thing he had inside the pocket of his bag

A photo of you

A photo of you he takes everywhere he goes

He doesn't want your empathy, he wants you to come home

Time can be such a funny thing

Always movin' to the future whilst forgetting the past

That has brought you to this moment, so hold it

This is why you're here and not froze in the moment

I'm gonna buy a fast car, a new fast car

And I'll drive, drive, drive, drive

Fast car, and I'm never comin' back again
