Jonas Blue featuring Dakota

Songtekst

You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we'll make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere

Anyplace is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make something
Me myself, I got nothing to prove

You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us out of here
I've been working at the convenience store
Managed to save just a little bit of money

Won't have to drive too far
Just cross the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
And finally see what it means to be living

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder

And I
Had a feeling that I belonged
And I
Had a feeling that I could be someone

Had a feeling that I could be someone

You see, my old man's got a problem
He live with the bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for working
His body's too young to look like his

My mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said somebody's got to take care of him
So I quit school and that's what I did

You got a fast car
We go cruising to entertain ourselves
We still ain't got a job
Now I work in a market as a checkout girl

I know things will get better
You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter
Buy a big house and live in the suburbs

You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away
You gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way

So remember when we were driving, driving in your car
Speed so fast, it felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped round my shoulder

And I
Had a feeling that I belonged
And I
Had a feeling that I could be someone

Had a feeling that I could be someone
Be someone
Had a feeling that I could be someone
