lyrics

You put the pedal to the floor
the second I close the door
and buckle in.
First dates always move so slowly
but not this time.
Faster, sunshine.
On the day after we met
I got insurance and a helmet –
but when I look in your eyes,
I don’t mind
I’m hurtling to my demise.
Right through a stop sign.
Faster, sunshine.
Cornfields, broken glass,
dead skunks, and maple trees.
The roadside hurts my eyes
when you’re chauffeuring me.
Won’t you let me breathe?
Taking corners at top speed
puts a tremble in my knees
and a hiccup in my heart,
every time I’m in your car.
I fear that fourth gear will take us
way too far
past the mall, fruit stands,
beer cans, and factories.
The roadside hurts my eyes
when you’re chauffeuring me.
Won’t you let me breath?
You’re gonna know how it feels
when someone steals
your steering wheel
and siphons your gas,
and leaves your car
dangling from an overpass.
Now you’re just a punchline.
Faster, sunshine.
