Fast Cars lyrics

[Verse 1]
How can I defend
"Let's live for now, not then"?
We're chasin' tail lights, let 'em fade into the distance
Let's say the engine stalled and start again

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn around, let's turn around
It's a dark road we been headin' down
Trust me tonight, I swear I know where we are
We're gonna run all the lights
We're gonna blow right through the radar

[Chorus]
Fast cars
We are fast cars

[Verse 2]
How can I pretend
The signs don't say dead end?
So many hearts just wind up in a junkyard
Where memories are nothing but spare parts

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn around, just turn around
Leave the past behind us now
Come on, we ain't gonna crash
This time we ain't slowin' down
We'll pull ahed of the pack
Slipin' through the cracks 'cause we are
[Chorus]
Fast cars on a long ride
Take your foot off the brake, let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars on the inside
There's no turnin' back on the highway of life
Fast cars
We are fast cars

[Post-Chorus]
Sha-la, sha-la
Flyin' through the stop signs
Sha-la, sha-la
Runnin' over bad times
Sha-la, sha-la
Gunnin' down the daylight
Countin' days like white lines
Holdin' on for our lives

[Bridge]
We are fast cars
Uh-huh

[Chorus]
We are fast cars on a long ride
Take your foot off the brakes, let's just put it in drive
We are fast cars on the inside
There's no turnin' back on this highway tonight
[Outro]
Sha-la, sha-la
Sha-la, sha-la
We are fast cars
Sha-la, sha-la
We are fast cars
We are fast cars
