Driving down the road,
Going much too fast,
One hand on the wheel,
The other around the shoulders of the girl he was with.
They love each other,
At least they think they do,
Their adolescence making them believe that they'll beat the odds.
A turn arrives just as the boy looks away, And suddenly they're airborne,
Just as soon as they're in the air however,
The forces of the world take hold as the car comes down hard.

Driving down the road,
Going much too fast,
One hand on the wheel,
The other around the shoulders of the girl he was with.
They love each other,
At least they think they do,
Their adolescence making them believe that they'll beat the odds.
A turn arrives just as the boy looks away, And suddenly they're airborne,
Just as soon as they're in the air however,
The forces of the world take hold as the car comes down hard.
