Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud, can’t tell a thing
Thinkin’ ’bout what to say
And I can’t find the lines
Know I love you a lot
I just don’t know, should I or not
Waiting for a brighter day
And I can’t find the way
I’ll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I’d love you too
Baby, I’m too afraid
I just don’t know if it’s OK
Trying to get away
From everything
Why don’t you take me home
It’s gone too far inside this car
I know I’ll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone …
