Beauty In A Car Crash Lyrics

So we've become so cinematic,
With every word you come unglued
So we'll let this settle, ferment and grow
Until we're both completely out of control

How was I supposed to know
Retrace my steps, find my way home
How was I supposed to know
Retrace these steps, find our way home

Soo I'll push my seat back, as far as it will go
Hold on tight, as your lungs collapse
I can't wait 'till the impact hits you in the face
You can finally see we were meant to be

How was I supposed to know
Retrace my steps, find my way home
How was I supposed to know
Retrace these steps, find our way home

With my lungs collapsing
I'm drowning in the backseat
Holding on to nothing
That's all thats left of me ...

( These breaks are going out )
( I'm looking straight ahead )
( Before we both go out )
( I loved you half to death )

How was I supposed to know
Retrace my steps, find my way home
How was I supposed to know
Retrace these steps, find our way home

There's beauty in a car crash
There's beauty in the payback
This is my big city shakedown
When there's beauty in the breakdown

Before You Go

So Go Ahead And Hang Yourself For Attention

So we've become so cinematic, 
With every word you come unglued
So we'll let this settle, ferment and grow 
Until we're both completely out of control

How was I supposed to know
Retrace my steps, find my way home 
How was I supposed to know
Retrace these steps, find our way home

Soo I'll push my seat back, as far as it will go
Hold on tight, as your lungs collapse
I can't wait 'till the impact hits you in the face
You can finally see we were meant to be

How was I supposed to know
Retrace my steps, find my way home 
How was I supposed to know
Retrace these steps, find our way home

With my lungs collapsing
I'm drowning in the backseat
Holding on to nothing
That's all thats left of me ...

( These breaks are going out )
( I'm looking straight ahead )
( Before we both go out )
( I loved you half to death )

How was I supposed to know
Retrace my steps, find my way home 
How was I supposed to know
Retrace these steps, find our way home

There's beauty in a car crash
There's beauty in the payback
This is my big city shakedown
When there's beauty in the breakdown

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Talk about an amazing song, huh. this is about 2 people falling out of love and while he tries to save the relationship she just gives up completely, at least that what it is to me. He realizes there is nothing he can do, so he lets go and finds the good things that came of there break up/falling out.

these lyrics are priceless, i love flight 409 "So we've become so cinematic, With every word you come unglued"

wow, not many comments i see. this song ah-mazes me, anyways i think the song is about a guy and a girl who are having some problems and they are just falling apart, he is trying hard to save their relationship because he loves her so much, but she doesnt seem to care so much. then he finally gives up and lets go and relizes that there isnt anything more he can do, and he also finds that there will be good in the two breaking up, no more problems or worries.
