red car (extended) Lyrics

I promised that I would get out

At the first red light in this small town

Looking at the signs as they point south

Sitting in the madness inside this house

Red car

I see it, makes my heart stop

Beating for a while

I can't replace that smile I had

When you told me

You loved me

You didn't know what it means

You drove me in that red car

And I'm writing these songs all inside my room

And I'll name one of them in the time of doom

I say, "Every picture is a work of art"

Like that one of me and you in your shiny new car

Because your red car

I see it, makes my heart stop

Beating for a while

I can't replace that smile I had

When you told me

You loved me

You didn't know what it means

You drove me in that red car

Red car

In your red car

And now I'm driving through the suburbs just to go by past your house

I see across the lawn that there's a sign that you moved out

I hope it's not true

But she's with you

I remember all those times you'd pick me up from late at night

I remember all the times my mind would tell me that this isn't right

But I'm not done

I've just begun

So fuck your red car

Fuck your brand new old girl

Fuck that lame bar

You said she's your whole world

But when you're with me

You said you can't think

About your red car

I see it, makes my heart stop

Beating for a while

I can't replace that smile I had

When you told me

You loved me

You didn't know what it means

You drove me in that red car

Red car

In your red car
