"Back Of The Car" lyrics

"Back Of The Car"

I served my sentence in your bed
The city woke up on the wrong side
Yeah, it was something that you said
With my teeth over the cold curbside
And your foot resting on my head
I feed you another bad line
Trying to keep up all the pretense
That every single thing is fine, just fine

How can you break what is already broken down?
It's the sweetest sound

Said you saw God in the back of the car
You find forever wherever you are
See the nights in the whites of your eyes
But I can't look away
Said you saw Jesus in the palm of your hand
When you gonna tell me something I understand?
See the nights in the whites of your eyes
But I can't look away

Said I'd remember to forget
These best-laid plans were never quite right
A compliment wrapped in a threat
Would you kindly make up your damn mind?
Your sense of self hangs by a thread
There's different parts of you we can't revive
But we aren't at the finish yet
Never prepared myself for how time flies

How can you break what is already broken down?
It's the sweetest sound

Said you saw God in the back of the car
You find forever wherever you are
See the nights in the whites of your eyes
But I can't look away
Said you saw Jesus in the palm of your hand
When you gonna tell me something I understand?
See the nights in the whites of your eyes

But I can't look away
No, I can't look away

Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
I still, I still, I still fucking love you
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
Night's the oldest just before the day's new
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
I still, I still, I still fucking love you
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
Night's the oldest just before the day's new
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
I still, I still, I still fucking love you
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
Night's the oldest just before the day's new
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
I still, I still, I still fucking love you
Twenty-twenty vision in the rear view
Twenty-twenty

Said you saw God in the back of the car
You find forever wherever you are
See the nights in the whites of your eyes
But I can't look away
Said you saw Jesus in the palm of your hand
When you gonna tell me something I understand?
See the nights in the whites of your eyes
But I can't look away
