lyrics

Ooh I need some air tonight
Won't you crack the window
Radio plays through the night
And I can feel the wind roll like old tires an a worn out road
And I don't care how we go
But you can ride shotgun as we sail the streets
Just do me one favour, leave your heart in the backseat

I don't love I just need a stop sign, friend
So do me a favour and light me a cigarette
And blow the smoke into the air where the sunset meets it's end
And ride with me faster than time as I try to forget
What it means to put your life in boxes on the street
And sell your soul for popcorn and a cold kiss on the cheek
I will run away with if you promise not to speak
Of tragedies of postcards of love
Just leave your heart in the backseat

Ooh I need a fix tonight
Won't you crack the bottle off
I can ride shotgun you can take the wheel
I don't care how I feel
But I need silence like I need this drink and
Outside the moon he winks
He knows the outcome is waisted on but I'll tell you one thing,

I don't love I just need a stop sign, friend
So do me a favour and light me a cigarette
And blow the smoke into the air where the sunset meets it's end
And ride with me faster than time as I try to forget
What it means to put your life in boxes on the street
And sell your soul for popcorn and a cold kiss on the cheek
I will run away with if you promise not to speak
Of tragedies of postcards of love
Just leave your heart in the backseat

I don't want love I just need a stop sign, friend
So do me a favour and light me a cigarette
