I promised that I would get out
At the first red light in this small town
Looking at the signs as they point south
Sitting in the madness inside this house
Red car
I see it, makes my heart stop
Beating for a while
I can't replace that smile I had
When you told me
You loved me
You didn't know what it means
You drove me in that red car
And I'm writing these songs all inside my room
And I'll name one of them "In the Time of Doom"
I say, "every picture is a work of art"
Like that one of me and you in your shiny new car
Because your red car
I see it, makes my heart stop
Beating for a while
I can't replace that smile I had
When you told me
You loved me
You didn't know what it means
You drove me in that red car
Red car
In your red car
