car crash

I know you like the way he's dangerous and it shows

Always pushing 80 in a 20-mile zone

I know you like it 'cause it was once me in your shoes

You don't have the full picture, but I've got a bird's eye view

And, darling, I would warn you

But don't know if it's worth trying

I know the stereo is blasting

Oh, you'll never hear the sirens

And, darling, I would warn you

But he'll cover your ears

And there's no one in control quite like the one behind the wheel

Now I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion

I know how this ends, but I can't stop it from unfolding

I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion

I know how this ends, don't wanna see you come out broken

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

And when you need some air and you roll down the window

He'll start treating your boundaries like the signs along the road (signs)

And then you'll wonder if it's time to hit the brakes

But he'll say you've come too far to flip the car around this late

And, darling, I would warn you

But don't know if it's worth trying

I know the stereo is blasting

Oh, you'll never hear the sirens

And, darling, I would warn you

But I'm in the rearview mirror

So he gets to decide the story that you're gonna hear

Now I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion

I know how this ends, but I can't stop it from unfolding

I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion

I know how this ends, don't wanna see you come out broken

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

Ooh-ooh

And I get it, you can't see the warning signs

Wanna believe there's good in everyone

It's a curse that reflects mine

And I get it

You're a deer in the headlights

You try to heal the one that's broken

At the cost of your own life

Now I gotta watch this car crash, hm

God, it's like I'm paralyzed

I gotta watch this car crash, hm

I hope you'll make it out alive
