Bars & Melody Fast Car Lyrics

[Leo:]
I hope some night you'll be reading off this page
Can you hear me in the street light breathing out your name?
A dark emotion left me broken tied around my head
Tied so tight there's not a feeling left
Maybe I should leave to reach a state of inner peace
I know that it is hard understanding you and me
Our family is broken, our family is gone
I'm writing this letter to tell I can't carry on

[Charlie:]
By the time we meet again
It may not be me, my friend
I'll be someone else

[Leo (Charlie):]
Heart so shattered that I can hardly sleep
The only time I see your face is invested in a dream
I try to forget you, inside I am torn (I'll be someone else)
Although you are heart broken I am heart broken more

[Charlie:]
I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again

I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again

[Leo:]
Maybe I can open up and tell you what is on my mind
Better things are coming, I don't want to bring you down this time
In a room that's adjacent
I felt the soft placement of your palms on the wall
Your nails trace a new life
Somewhere outside this bitter tasting home
Where we can forget this life and its amplifying tone
Is this where I belong
Is this the right path
I wish that I could stay but I'm not coming back

[Charlie:]
By the time we meet again
It may not be me, my friend
I'll be someone else

[Leo (Charlie):]
There is no way to take back my actions Everything is marred, smeared into the blackness
The deadness of the wind and the whispering moon (I'll be someone else)
If there is a heaven I will see you there soon

[Charlie:]
I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again

I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again

[Leo:]
And I am heartbroken more
And I am heart broken more

[Charlie:]
When you get home
You'll find a letter
Gonna be better
Better this way
When I'm gone
Change of weather
I'll be better

When you get home
You'll find a letter
Gonna be better
Better this way
When I'm gone
Change of weather
I'll be better

I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again

I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again

[Leo:]
The only thing he has inside the pocket of his bag, a photo of you
A photo of you he takes everywhere he goes
He doesn't want your empathy, he wants you to come home
Time can be such a funny thing
Always moving to the future whilst forgetting the past
That has brought you to this moment, so hold it
This is why you're here and not froze in the moment

[Charlie:]
I'm gonna buy a fast car
A new fast car
And I'll drive drive drive drive
Fast car
And I'm never coming back again
