Your Car by Egocheck Lyrics
You
You’re out west in the Malibu sun
Throwing your hair back
Making those boys come running
I guess we both got everything that we wanted
Except us
And me
I left 18 and never looked back
But sometimes I do when it’s late at night
And I find your photograph
I just want closure
But the world won’t give me that
I remember that night
When you drove away for the last time
We had tears in our eyes
We knew it’d never be
It’d never be
What we thought was meant to be, yeah
I know we don’t speak
We may never again
But every time I see your car I pretend
That we’re all alone
I’m in your front seat
Talking ‘bout how life would be after 18
And here we are now
As strangers can be
Two different places
Both moved on happily
You’ll never know
Cuz I’ll never say
But you were the greatest thing I gave away
Are you happy now?
I saw you’re with someone else
And he’s got charms and looks
I can’t say it doesn’t give me hell
But we’re better off
I’ve told myself you’re not the one too many times
You’re just a dream I can’t wake from
What are we doing here both acting like strangers?
I’ll never forget the night you took my hand and said nobody’s ever changed you like I did
Before the tide came sweeping in
I know we don’t speak
We may never again
But every time I see your car I pretend
That we’re all alone
I’m in your front seat
Talking ‘bout how life would be after 18
And here we are now
As strangers can be
Two different places
Both moved on happily
You’ll never know
Cuz I’ll never say
But you were the greatest thing I gave away
You’re out west in the Malibu sun
Throwing your hair back
Making those boys come running
I guess we both got everything that we wanted
Except us
And me
I left 18 and never looked back
But sometimes I do when it’s late at night
And I find your photograph
I just want closure
But the world won’t give me that
I remember that night
When you drove away for the last time
We had tears in our eyes
We knew it’d never be
It’d never be
What we thought was meant to be, yeah
I know we don’t speak
We may never again
But every time I see your car I pretend
That we’re all alone
I’m in your front seat
Talking ‘bout how life would be after 18
And here we are now
As strangers can be
Two different places
Both moved on happily
You’ll never know
Cuz I’ll never say
But you were the greatest thing I gave away
Are you happy now?
I saw you’re with someone else
And he’s got charms and looks
I can’t say it doesn’t give me hell
