Fast Cars

How can I defend "Let's live for now and not then" We're chasing taillights, Let them fade into the distance Let's say the engine stalled and start again Turn around, let's turn around It's a dark road we been heading 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 Fast cars We are fast cars 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 Turn around, just turn around And leave the past behind us now Come on, we ain't gonna crash This time we ain't slowing down We'll pull ahead of the pack Slip thru the cracks cause we are 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 turning back On the highway of life Fast cars We are fast cars (Sha la, sha la) Flying through the stop signs (Sha la, sha la) Running over bad times (Sha la, sha la) Gunning down the daylight Counting days like white lines Holding on for our lives We are fast cars We are 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 turning back On this highway tonight (Sha la, sha la) (Sha la, sha la) We are fast cars (Sha la, sha la) We are fast cars We are fast cars
