Parker Posey
The Car Is On Fire Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well I can go to hell if you go
But I can't teach you something I don't know
There's a lotta things I don't understand
But with you beside me holding my hand
There is one thing I'm sure of
It's you I love

Anything you'll do
I will be around




I know it's hard to be so cool
When the only thing you want brings you down
