Pre-Chorus]
Hey baby could you see a light?
Hey maybe you got something new
Hey baby you are too shy to rise above all that pettiness
All I can say is no longer no use for the mistakes
There is no mending

Get off the car, put on your odd shoes

It′s the way to the bottom in your mind
How are you doing to make me sing along with

Hey baby could you see a light?
Hey maybe you got something new

I want to live with no repentance
I make a detour in my way
I want to live with no repentance
I make a detour in my way
Don′t let me down
Oh, right here, right now, get off the car
Oh, right here, right now, get off the car
Oh, right here, right now, get off the car
