Fast Car / Waves Lyrics by Nathan Evans

2015

[Verse 1]
You got a fast car
I want a ticket to anywhere
Maybe we make a deal
Maybe together we can get somewhere
Any place is better
Starting from zero, got nothing to lose
Maybe we'll make somethin'
Me, myself, I got nothing to prove
[Verse 2]
You got a fast car
I got a plan to get us outta 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 across the border and into the city
You and I can both get jobs
Finally see what it means to be living
[Bridge]
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
[Verse 3]
My face above the water
My feet can't touch the ground
Touch the ground, and it feels like
I can see the sands on the horizon
Everytime you are not around
[Chorus]
I'm slowly drifting away, drifting away
Wave after wave, wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting
You got a fast car
Drifitng away, yeah
You got a fast gar
Wave after wave, I'm slowly drifting
[Verse 4]
See, my old man's got a problem
He lives with a bottle, that's the way it is
He says his body's too old for workin'
His body's too young to look like his
When mama went off and left him
She wanted more from life than he could give
I said, "Somebody's gotta take care of him"
I quit school and that's what I did
[Pre-Chorus]
Say, 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
Wave after wave, wave afer wave
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting away, drifting away, ay
[Chorus]
So I remember when we were drivin', drivin' in your car
Speed so fast, I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I, I had a feeling that I belonged
And I, I had a feelin' I could be someone
Be someone, be someone
[Outro]
Drifing away, wave after wave
Wave after wave
I'm slowly drifting, oh, oh
