Cars Can’t Escape Lyrics
When red is bled and petals blue
And in my sleepless head our love's been dead a week or two
Sometimes good times are stuck inside of you
And then they're gone
But I don't know why
A lot of things have changed since we said goodbye
There were reasons for you to love me but I gave you none
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
So time's just time, cars can't escape
When clouds are gray and close not often, too far away
And blue has no value, power or hue
Or open skies
Relationless
Carelessness is what I miss and that's how I think of you
Sometimes good times were all we had to do
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
And in my sleepless head our love's been dead a week or two
Sometimes good times are stuck inside of you
And then they're gone
But I don't know why
A lot of things have changed since we said goodbye
There were reasons for you to love me but I gave you none
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
So time's just time, cars can't escape
When clouds are gray and close not often, too far away
And blue has no value, power or hue
Or open skies
Relationless
Carelessness is what I miss and that's how I think of you
Sometimes good times were all we had to do
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
So I tap my glass and nod my chin
And wonder who you've been in rhythm with
