Car Accident

(album: Constellations - 2023)

It's a cold world, darling
That's what I learned the night you called me up
You said that you're not sober, "Please come over"
I let my mind go crazy
But made sure that I got there safely 'cause
I hear your voice still mention, "Pay attention"

But then you told me about her
And my eyes began to blur
Stood up to go grab my keys
Left without you stopping me

Driving fast in the empty lane
Speeding up so I can numb the pain
Thinking back to last December
All the nights that I remember
Can you take me back now?
I'm screaming loud through the open night
It's pitch black out but I'm seeing white
I hear sirens in the distance
With regret of not existing
Can you take me back now?

Can you take me back now?
Can you take me back now?

There's nothing we can't get through
That's what I thought the night I called you up
Said that I'm not sober, please come over
I let my mind go crazy
Gave in to all my stupid cravings but
If you stay we'll fix this, please just listen

So then I told you about her
And from there it was a blur
Stood up to go grab your keys
Watched you as I couldn't speak

You were driving fast in the empty lane
Speeding up while it was pouring rain
Thinking back to last December
All the nights that I remember
Can you take us back now?
I was screaming out when I got the call
Heartbeat stopped 'cause this is all my fault
I hear beeping in the background
With regret of letting you down
Can you take us back now?

Can you take us back now? (Can you take me?)
Can you take us back now? (Can you take me back?)
Will you take us back? Please just take us back
Won't you take us back now?

It's a cold world, darling
That's what I learned the night you called me up

Driving fast in the empty lane
Speeding up so I can numb the pain
Thinking back to last December
All the nights that I remember
Can you take me back now?
I'm screaming loud through the open night
It's pitch black out but I'm seeing white
I hear sirens in the distance
With regret of not existing
Can you take me back now?

Can you take us back now? (Can you take me?)
Can you take us back now? (Can you take me back?)
Will you take us back? Please just take us back
Won't you take us back now?
