lyrics
Pulling in the driveway in the dead of the night
Calling to my baby to come out for a drive
Passing through the neon-coloured city lights
Rolling ‘round the corner and we’re out of sight tonight
Flying down the freeway at the speed of sound
Past the city limits so we’ll never be found
Glancing in the rear view as I’m holding your hand
We’re never going back there, never turning around tonight
You and I
A girl and a guy
Even if we never make it
There’s a chance so we should take it anyway
If you’re right
This’ll take all night
And no matter what tonight brings
You and I will be all right tomorrow
Winding through the traffic, we keep going for miles
Pull over to the shoulder and we’ll rest for a while
Money in my pocket and a girl by my side
Doesn’t matter if we make it, just as long as we tried tonight
And I wanted to go fast / But you wanted the feeling to last
Yeah, you wanted to go slow / Making our way back home
Calling to my baby to come out for a drive
Passing through the neon-coloured city lights
Rolling ‘round the corner and we’re out of sight tonight
Flying down the freeway at the speed of sound
Past the city limits so we’ll never be found
Glancing in the rear view as I’m holding your hand
We’re never going back there, never turning around tonight
You and I
A girl and a guy
Even if we never make it
There’s a chance so we should take it anyway
If you’re right
This’ll take all night
And no matter what tonight brings
You and I will be all right tomorrow
Winding through the traffic, we keep going for miles
Pull over to the shoulder and we’ll rest for a while
Money in my pocket and a girl by my side
Doesn’t matter if we make it, just as long as we tried tonight
And I wanted to go fast / But you wanted the feeling to last
Yeah, you wanted to go slow / Making our way back home
