When we're driving You say you can go faster, and When we're singing to the radio You say you can make it louder And you roll another one You wanna get higher And when I need the fire You're always my lighter When we're rolling You always put your feet on mine And when I'm running away You always remind me, all the time When I'm feeling low You lift me to the moon and back Back into your arms, I won't let go Until I know how much you really love me, baby I see a light And I've heard we never truly see ourselves You gotta leave it up to someone else To know how beautiful you really are, baby We never get to see ourselves Sleeping peacefully next to the ones that we love We never see us cry in someone eyes, see us cry Someone who was born, baby When we're driving You say you can go faster And when we're singing to the radio You say you turn it louder And you roll another one You wanna get higher, And when I need the fire You're always my lighter I see a light coming towards me Moving slowly, but coming quickly At the same time, I think it represents What's going on in my mind When we're together, everything is so sweet There's nowhere in the world I'd rather be As long as I've got you and you've got me, baby I could leave you, I don't need nothing but you We're starting up beyond just us two Forever gets complicated You don't have to be that way, baby I see a light coming towards me Moving slowly, but coming quickly At the same time, I think it represents What's going on in my mind What's going on in my mind I think it represents what's going on in my mind What's going on in my mind I think it represent what's going on in my mind What's going on in my mind
