lyrics

Lyrics:

I couldn’t hold a candle to you anymore.
That record stands and we know you won’t forget the score.
But don’t blame me if somehow I forget your name.
It’s just that vacant faces tend to look the same.

Sending signals but we’re easily distracted from the truth.
It’s an art that we learn.
No you never had the courage to burn.
Running on empty words,
You’ll wonder how they got up the nerve.
And gave up the routine.
Ambitions a dream,
With a V8 engine.

They cut the brakes, and then fall into the front door.
Back by demand and it looks like we are done for.
Out of your depth you force a smile with a sense of shame.
Enough to make them think, you played the perfect game.

Sending signals but we’re easily distracted from it all.
It’s an art that we learn, but the lines are all getting blurred.
No you never had the courage to burn.
Running on empty words,
You’ll wonder how they got up the nerve.
And gave up the routine.
Ambitions a dream,
With a V8 engine.
Let’s talk avant-garde,
And kickstart my Car Heart.

And we learn,
No you never had the courage to burn.
Running on empty words,
You’ll wonder how they got up the nerve.
And gave up the routine.
Ambitions a dream,
With a V8 engine.
Let’s talk avant-garde,
And kickstart my Car Heart.
