lyrics

I get all my ideas when I’m driving
But my car’s such a cold place to be
Two cracks in the door, from the owner before
And the windows don’t shut properly

Always trying to write something wonderful
Without stopping to check on the time
Got a feeling these seconds are following me
Out the door, down the driveway and left past the sycamore trees
They’re waving at me

Please, don’t steal it away
She begs you to wait
When she walks with the moon in her face
She’s got all of the answers, and she’ll be OK

Didn't wanna break down in December
So please don’t tell your mum that I did
All the bells and the bars, and the alleluias
I preferred it when I was a kid

Never normally eat in the morning
And this job’s taking all of my energy
Never thought 24 would feel so old
And the worst part of ageing is there is no remedy

Please, don’t steal it away
She begs you to wait
When she walks with the moon in her face
She’s got all of the answers, and she’ll be OK

I’ll leave my thoughts and phone behind
Won’t need them where we’ll be tonight
No stopping now to check the time
Got in my car and drive for miles
A pendulum swing, another strike
Making someone your next crime
But I keep driving through the night
I won’t go out without a fight
I’m miles away, I hear you chime
And all at once I know it’s time
I catch a glimpse of years gone by, by
I see them flash before my eyes
Don’t get a chance to make it right
I wonder if you hear me cry

Don’t wait for me, I’ll be alright
I’ll meet you in another life
