| the day that we took out a car in the rain
|
| is the day you forgot how to brake and see
|
| how quickly the picture will change
|
| filled with fingers and voices and teeth
|
| i still remember holding my hand
|
| against your face just before it was sprayed
|
| across the radio
|
| as it played
|
| and you and me are still but the scenery moves
|
| well why would it stop just 'cause
|
| suddenly
|
| there’s one where there used to be two
|
| and everything’s quiet but yo looks like the speaker lived through the blow
|
| still playing some compilation you made
|
| feels like a lifetime sitting alone
|
| so i start humming along to the tape
|
| i always liked this singer
|
| i remember how you were the one who told me that her name
|
| was either mia
|
| or m.i.a.
|
| and i am thinking
|
| how many hours till i’m home
|
| how long do i stay in this place
|
| who’s going to wash all the blood from my clothes
|
| who’s gonna cancel my date
|
| who’s gonna cancel my date
|
| and i think
|
| i always liked this singer
|
| i remember how you were the one who told me that her name
|
| was either mia
|
| and i think
|
| i always liked this singer
|
| i remember how you were the one who told me that her name
|
| was either mia
|
| or m.i.a.
|
| and the day that we took out a car in the wet
|
| i thought to myself that the sky was blue
|
| as i’ve ever seen it but yet
|
| still tinted with red |
