We spent more time in your car Than anywhere else we've ever been Because we cared more about being together than where we were going What was important was that the song that we both loved played on the radio And our hands were intertwined over the center console And red lights were an opportunity to be there longer But no music ever sounds as sweet when it's been pulled apart over the space that now resides between us And I have no desire left to sit in traffic in a car that is not yours with someone who is not you But you don’t seem to have the same setback You take the same risks you took with me and pass them on to someone else You hold someone else's hand when you should have both of yours on the steering wheel You look into someone else's eyes when you should be focused on the road And I I've stopped wearing my seat belt Because I'd rather fly headfirst through a windshield Than to live another day knowing that you don't love me anymore
