"car crash" lyrics

I know you like the way he's dangerous and it shows
Always pushing 80 in a 20-mile zone
I know you like it 'cause it was once me in your shoes
You don't have the full picture but I've got a bird's eye view

And darling I would warn you
But don't know if it's worth trying
I know the stereo is blasting
Oh, you'll never hear the sirens
And darling I would warn you
But he'll cover your ears
And there's no one in control quite like the one behind the wheel

Now I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion
I know how this ends but I can't stop it from unfolding
I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion
I know how this ends, don't wanna see you come out broken
Oo-oo-oo-oh
Oo-oo-oo-oh

And when you need some air and you roll down the window
He'll start treating your boundaries like the signs along the road
And then you'll wonder if it's time to hit the brakes
But he'll say you've come too far to flip the car around this late

And darling I would warn you
But don't know if it's worth trying
I know the stereo is blasting
Oh, you'll never hear the sirens
And darling I would warn you
But I'm in the rearview mirror
So he gets to decide the story that you're gonna hear

Now I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion
I know how this ends but I can't stop it from unfolding
I gotta watch this car crash in slow motion
I know how this ends, don't wanna see you come out broken
Oo-oo-oo-oh
Oo-oo-oo-oh

And I get it, you can't see the warning signs
Wanna believe there's good in everyone
It's a curse that reflects mine
And I get it
You're a deer in the headlights
You'd try to heal the one that's broken
At the cost of your own life

Now I gotta watch this car crash
Mm-mm
God it's like I'm paralyzed
Now I gotta watch this car crash
Mm-mm
I hope you'll make it out alive
