Car Crash Songtext
von Derek Webb

When I saw you dancing on the table I knew you were the one
And it was easy like spending all the money, a fist into a glove
Like pulling a thread that′s gonna mean trouble
Like how you fall in love
That's how I lost you, little by little, then kinda all at once
And like a sunset, the color is stunning right before it disappears
And I can hear it, but the music is fading
That was ringing in my ears tonight

I wanna die in a car crash, maybe an airplane
Oh, I don′t wanna hear that shot that ends the whole thing
I wanna sleep in a house that's going up in flames
Oh, I would give up the years if it meant half the pain
Oh, I don't wanna live so long that I don′t know your name


Well, I was a fighter, a silver-tongue devil
So I know how to take a punch
I swam across the Mississippi river just tryin′ to find someone
Who would fight me but doesn't wanna hold me up against the ropes
Who won′t hurt me like every other lover I have ever known till you

I wanna die in a car crash, maybe an airplane
Oh, I don't wanna hear that shot that ends the whole thing
I wanna sleep in a house that′s going up in flames
Oh, I would give up the years if it meant half the pain
Oh, I don't wanna live so long that I don′t know your name

Oh, we can get outta here oh
And we can drive in my cadillac across state lines
Where there's nothing for us to fear
I really hate to tell you, I feel afraid most days
When I don't know what to say except I love you
