Somewhere in My Car Lyrics
I’m driving home tonight, catching all red lights
That’s alright ‘cause I don’t want to be alone
There’s nobody waitin’ there, cold and empty bed
Words I wished I’d said come on the radio
Ooh, oh, oh, and I don’t know why I do this to myself
Ooh, oh, oh, I know you’re with someone else
Chorus:
But in my mind we’re somewhere in my car
And it’s raining hard on the streetlight glow
You got your lips on mine, it’s gasoline on fire
I never will forget, you grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head
And your fingertips slide up and down my back
Breathin’ hard, steamin’ up the glass
I’d give anything if I could bring you back home
So, I’ve been sleeping ‘til noon in the same bedroom
Where I once held you and it’s breaking my heart
I should take down all those pictures from my wall
Promises we made won’t fill this empty space
Ooh, oh, oh, and I don’t know why I just can’t let you go
Ooh, oh, oh, I know you’re never coming back
Repeat Chorus Twice

eith Urban cranks up the heat for his new music video "Somewhere In My Car," the latest entry in his blockbuster Fuse saga. Following such pieces as "A Little Bit Of Everything" (the album's lead-in), "We Were Us" (a plucky-pop collaboration with Miranda Lambert) and more recently "Cop Car," the new cinematically-shot clip is a chance meeting between two lovers. It opens on the leading man driving his car home late one evening, as he heads home to gaze at a collection of polaroids peppered on his bedroom wall. He looks longing at a woman's beautiful face, as the images fade and rise on a steamy make-out session in the front seat (and the backseat) of his car. A downpour splashes down around them, ultimately fogging up the glass.
The video, directed by John Urbano (previously of Urban's "Cop Car") and filmed in black-n-white textures, creates an ethereal story, as the main character reminisces about his former flame but relives their passionate relationship in his mind. "In my mind, we're somewhere in my car, and it's raining hard on the streetlight glow," Urban croons on the chorus, as he picks up his guitar and lays down some electrically-vibrant guitar licks. "You got your lips on mine; it's gasoline on fire. I never will forget, you grabbed my shirt and pulled it over my head, and your fingertips slide up and down my back. Breathin' hard, steamin' up the glass. I'd give anything if I could bring it back..."
