Fast Car lyrics

[Leo:]

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 understanding you and me

Our family is broken, our family is gone

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

[Charlie:]

By the time we meet again

It may not be me, my friend

I'll be someone else

[Leo (Charlie):]

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 heart broken I am heart broken more

[Charlie:]

I'm gonna buy a fast car

A new fast car

And I'll drive drive drive drive

Fast car

And I'm never coming 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 coming back again

[Leo:]

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

Better things are coming, I don't want to bring you down this time

In a room that's adjacent

I felt the soft placement of your palms on the wall

Your nails trace a new life

Somewhere outside this bitter tasting home

Where we can 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 coming back

[Charlie:]

By the time we meet again

It may not be me, my friend

I'll be someone else

[Leo (Charlie):]

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

[Charlie:]

I'm gonna buy a fast car

A new fast car

And I'll drive drive drive drive

Fast car

And I'm never coming 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 coming back again

[Leo:]

And I am heartbroken more

And I am heart broken more

[Charlie:]

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 coming 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 coming back again

[Leo:]

The only thing he has 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 moving 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

[Charlie:]

I'm gonna buy a fast car

A new fast car

And I'll drive drive drive drive

Fast car

And I'm never coming back again
