Fast Car
Sam Smith (Hitimpulse Remix) Lyrics

You got a fast car, I want a ticket to anywhere
You have a car that can take us anywhere, and I want to escape my current situation.

Maybe we make a deal
Perhaps we can come to an agreement.

Maybe together we can get somewhere
We may be able to reach our goals if we work together.

Any place is better, starting from 0 got nothing to lose
Any location is preferable to where I am now, as I have nothing of value to lose.

Maybe we'll make something
We could potentially create something worthwhile.

Me, myself and I got nothing to prove.
I have no need to prove anything to anyone for my own self-worth.

You see, my old man's got a problem
My father has a drinking problem.

Living with the bottle that's the way it is
He struggles with alcohol addiction.

He says his body's too old for working
He claims he is too old to work.

His body's too young to look like his
Despite his age, his physical appearance doesn't match his expectations.

My mama went off and left him
My mother left my father.

She wanted more from life than he could give
She aspired for a better life than what my father could provide.

I said somebody's got to take care of him
I decided that somebody had to take care of my father.

So I quit school and that's what I did
As a result, I dropped out of school to take care of my father.

See I remember when we were driving, driving in your car
I recall a time when we were driving in your car.

Speed so fast I felt like I was drunk City lights lay out before us
We were driving so quickly that I felt intoxicated, and the bright city lights were stretched out in front of us.

And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulders
I enjoyed the feeling of your arm around my shoulders.

And I had a feeling that I belonged
At that moment, I felt like I was in the right place.

I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone, no, no
I was optimistic about my prospects and believed I could accomplish something significant.

We go cruising, entertain ourselves
We keep ourselves entertained by going out for drives.

Still ain't got a job
Despite trying, I am still unemployed.

I'm working in a market as a checkout boy
I'm currently employed as a cashier at a market.

I know things will get better
I am optimistic that my situation will improve.

You'll find work and I'll get promoted
I believe that you will find a job and I will receive a promotion.

And we'll move out of the shelter
As a result, we may be able to move out of our current living situation.

Buy a big house and live in the suburbs, live in the suburbs
We dream of buying a large house in the suburbs and settling down there.

You got a fast car Is it fast enough so you can fly away?
Your car can take us places quickly, but is it fast enough to help us escape our problems altogether?

You gotta make a decision Leave tonight or live and die this way.
You must decide whether to take action and leave our situation behind, or continue to live in our current circumstances and possibly never reach our goals.
