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
