lyrics

Shaken up by the misplaced feelings
What the hell do you have to say to me now
Nothing more than a bandage healing
Tear me off for good, save us both some time

Tell me why I haven't felt alive since your skin brushed up against mine
Every kiss I'm thinking of rips the breath right out of my lungs
Fleeting hearts are rarely right, but still I long for one last time
To know you're lying next to me

Bottled up all the anger turning
What the hell do I have to say to you now
Fiery glow of my tail lights burning
Driving off for good, don't care about goodbyes

Tell me why I haven't felt alive since your skin brushed up against mine
Every kiss I'm thinking of rips the breath right out of my lungs
Fleeting hearts are rarely right, but still I long for one last time
To know you're lying next to me

Hesitation doesn't suit you well
On and on we go, drunkenly running from who we are
Reservations that I've never felt
All along we've known lust is just a flash, a passing car
