Pulled up beside me at the stop sign
My windows roll by hand so you had to sit tight
But when I finally got it you said let's go for a drive
I nodded my head and followed you through the night
The light's turning yellow and no one's around
You're speeding up but I'm slowing down
The song on the radio, it's stressing me out
Did I miss the ramp? I know I'm supposed to go South
Should've known better we both got what we saw
But the way you hold that wheel left me in awe
Darling it's been one wild ride
It's not over until both our tanks are dry
The rain blurs my sight, can't see over the dash
They say life's a highway, our love's a car crash
Your car all works, it was made to explore
It looks brand new but I think you've done this before
Mine's pretty beat, it's been through a lot
It's the first time in months that it's been out the garage
My brakes always squeak 'cause I use them too much
I drive so jerky, I'm way out of touch
I try to keep up but you're going too fast
I'm falling behind and you're still pressing the gas
Should've known better we both got what we saw
This may not be it but it's our last hurrah
Darling it's been one wild ride
It's not over until both our tanks are dry
The rain blurs my sight, can't see over the dash
They say life's a highway, our love's a car crash
To catch up to you I have to speed
The limit says 60 but I go 83
I see the sirens in my rear-view mirror
I should pull over but slowing down's what I fear
My neck snaps forward and I'm thrown from my seat
I was so preoccupied I forgot to watch the street
I'm full of regrets, I hope that person's okay
Everything goes black as my consciousness fades
Should've known better we both got what we saw
But baby for you I've broken the law
Darling it's been one wild ride
It's not over until both our tanks are dry
The rain blurs my sight, can't see over the dash
They say life's a highway, our love's a car crash
In the ambulance we lie side by side
It was you that I hit, "I'm so sorry," I cried
We both recovered, at least that's what they say
But if we're both fine then why does it feel this way?
'Cause we both made up but then we started to blame
We're both just too stubborn and it was never the same
I haven't even seen you since I gave us these scars
But last thing I heard was that you bought a new car
Should've known better we both got what we saw
I tried to follow and it shattered my jaw
Darling it's been one wild ride
It's not over until we're both broken inside
The rain blurs my sight, can't see over the dash
They say life's a highway, our love's a car crash
