Boy Hits Car Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey!
You're so beautiful
Insecure
Like a tire.
You're always locked up by yourself.
I didn't get to bury you
I didn't get to bury, look at you
One last time
You're so beautiful
You're beautiful
First I'll wait
These patches are blown.
The system is in my heart.
Are you happier now?
You know I loved you
But I think I love you more
Now that you're gone
Oh, you're beautiful
You're so beautiful
When you ran through the fields
With all those pretty flowers
That smelt good.
Got to run, through the fields.
Had to run, do you run?
You're so beautiful,
(Bring me back to the fields, 'cause I'm losing power.)
