Car Lights
Bedroom / Boredom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep feeling lost
Gathering my thoughts
You're all such groovy kids
I wanna be like him
I'll try

Try moving in circles
But I never liked circles
I always seem to end up
Right back where I started

You can leave your car lights on in my front yard
You don't need to know my name 'til the come-up
We could be whatever we want in the suburbs
Life's a beach I want to swim your water

Always say the wrong thing first
And wonder why you look so
Lonely like a colour burst
Inside the mind of someone

With no sense of taste
Lovers left like human waste
I could take away the taste
Of the smoke you've blown in my face

Out of all the kids on drugs
You're the only one
I wanna float away on your breeze

You can leave your car lights on in my front yard
You don't need to know my name 'til the come-up
We could be whatever we want in the suburbs
Life's a beach I want to swim your water

You can leave your car lights on in my front yard
You don't need to know my name 'til the come-up

You can leave your car lights on in my front yard
You don't need to know my name 'til the come-up
We could be whatever we want in the suburbs
Life's a beach I want to swim your water

You don't need to know my name
(We could be whatever we want)
You don't need to know my name
(We could be whatever we want in the suburbs)




You don't need to know my name
Life's a beach I want to swim your water
