Gabriel Bruce - Cars Not Leaving lyrics

rate me

There's a game that's always played

and always won by fools

but everyone I know

would rather never play than lose.

There's a place where the innocent stand

proud before the firing squad

There's a church at the end of the path

with a sign that reads beware of the God

And there's you in the alley,

And there's me walking away

With three words that hang in the air

I swore I would never say

2 x Chorus:

So hold on now, just hold on a minute

This car's not leaving if you're not in it

You've no idea how lucky we are

A wound that deep normally scars

I heard there was a place where the light

managed to cut through the dark

but that was just a story for children

and my chest is just a grave for my heart.

There's a phone that's always ringin'

Answer and a child to say

I'd rather take my own life

than give it a way

And as you wander the west way

The thoughts I hide from the rain

and I'm taking your picture

to be sure that I'll see you again

2 x Chorus:

So hold on now, just hold on a minute

This car's not leaving if you're not in it

You've no idea how lucky we are

A wound that deep normally scars

Well, the sea below's holdin' hands

above singin' harmony

The bodies of water are caressed by land

and the river's mouth is kissing the sea

[4 x Chorus:]
