car crash

Know you like the way
He's dangerous
And it shows

Always pushing 80
In a 20-mile zone
I know you like it
'Cause it was once me

In your shoes
You don't have the full picture
But I've got
A bird's eye view

And, darling, I would warn you
But don't know if it's worth trying
I know the stereo is blasting
Oh, you'll never hear the sirens

And, darling, I would warn you
But he'll cover your ears
And there's no one in control
Quite like the one
Behind the wheel

Now I gotta watch
This car crash
In slow motion

I know how this ends
But I can't stop it
From unfolding

I gotta watch
This car crash
In slow motion

I know how this ends
Don't wanna see you
Come out broken

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

And when you need some air
And you roll down the window
He'll start treating your boundaries
Like the signs along the road

And then you'll wonder
If it's time to hit the brakes
But he'll say you've come too far
To flip the car around this late

And, darling, I would warn you
But don't know if it's worth trying
I know the stereo is blasting
Oh, you'll never hear the sirens

And, darling, I would warn you
But I'm in the rearview mirror
So he gets to decide
The story that you're gonna hear

Now I gotta watch
This car crash
In slow motion

I know how this ends
But I can't stop it
From unfolding

I gotta watch
This car crash
In slow motion

I know how this ends
Don't wanna see you
Come out broken

Ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh

And I get it
You can't see the warning signs
Wanna believe
There's good in everyone

It's a curse
That reflects mine
And I get it
You're a deer in the headlights

You try to heal
The one that's broken
And I get it
You're a deer in the headlights

You try to heal
The one that's broken
At the cost
Of your own life

Now I gotta watch
This car crash, hm
God, it's like
I'm paralyzed

I gotta watch
This car crash, hm
I hope you'll
Make it out alive
