Policar, 2003.
Wasn't goin' so fast
And I'd nursed the last few drinks with you
In order to make 'em last.
And I'd never get behind the wheel
if I wasn't mostly sober
But now I feel
life's flashing past
and I think the ride is over.
CHORUS:
Shoulda stopped at the light,
let you keep the keys, maybe gotten some sleep,
shoulda listened to my friend,
Shoulda stayed the hell off the streets tonight
Now the road's reached an end
Shoulda stopped at the light
Wasn't going so wrong.
We had what we had
and it wasn't bad
and it hadn't lasted long.
You'd kept me away from the pills and booze
till we thought that we had won.
But you left me to choose
and I wasn't that strong
and I think the ride is done.
(Chorus repeats)
Doesn't feel so bad.
It hurt at first, then it just got numb.
Now I'm mostly feeling sad,
and cold and angry and scared and dumb
and I think it might be fate.
And my ride's arrived and I should be glad
but I think it's here too late.
(Chorus repeats twice)
