Fast Car (We Were Young 2) (version 2)

Verse

Coffee cup cold in the dashboard light

Radio playing a song from June night

You're singing every word like it's the first time

Sneakers sticking to the vinyl seat

Old map crumpled up on the floor

Still got the gas money for one more mile

I remember everything about that day

Even how your laughter made my heart run fast

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we don't slow down tonight

We're still young and this engine's got life

Just the two of us, the highway, and light

So what do you say we keep it alive

Chorus

Fast car, we were young and alive

Fast car, running on love and pride

Windows down and your name on my sleeve

We ain't lost yet, we're still the same people

Fast car, taking us back to me and you

This is how we remember summer for true

Verse

Milkshake stand closed but we don't care

Ice cream melting in a paper cup I share

Chalk-drawn lines on the sidewalk

Skateboard wheels catching every crack

Fireflies blinking out a rhythm back

We're chasing stars like they're still near

No bills, no clocks, just the open road here

Just us and this engine that never stops

Pre-Chorus

So what do you say we don't slow down tonight

We're still young and this engine's got life

Just the two of us, the highway, and light

So what do you say we keep it alive

Chorus

Fast car, we were young and alive

Fast car, running on love and pride

Windows down and your name on my sleeve

We ain't lost yet, we're still the same people

Fast car, taking us back to me and you

This is how we remember summer for true

Bridge

Maybe someday we'll drive slower

Maybe roads will hold less wonder

But right now the wind's got a voice that I know

Screaming louder than the radio so

Keep both hands on the wheel and don't look back

We got forever, not a map

Chorus

Fast car, we were young and alive

Fast car, running on love and pride

Windows down and your name on my sleeve

We ain't lost yet, we're still the same people

Fast car, taking us back to me and you

This is how we remember summer for true
