Take Our Cars Now! Lyrics
Don't you remember the last time we were speeding down this highway?
Anna slept in the back seat, dreaming in the autumn heat.
We turned up the country radio.
I said, "if you want me just say so."
I slicked back my hair in the wind.
I told you I didn't want my picture taken but you snapped it anyway.
Now I guess you won't have trouble remembering me someday.
So I floored it and swerved around the lanes.
I kept wishing it were you instead of me behind the wheel so maybe with my camera I could steal a shot of you and go home to put it in my room.
Maybe you'll never remember me.
Maybe my face will lose these scars, 'cause sometimes they keep me home at night where I duck under the covers and wince when I see the light.

this song is about the car crash that still haunts chris, the scars on his face are a daily reminder of it
hee!
beauty.
that seems like a pretty likely explination. most of the song seems to be about just a regular drive...but i believe that. it's weird how chris could make a song about something so painful sound so happy
he's good like that ;)
an incredible song. its that simple.
it's wondrful. but he knows ppl forget & i think he wants to stay & remember. life is moving like the car & it's like, what happens when the ride ends ?
i love this song so much...can ya tell?...that makes so much sense about the car crash story...he's so good at putting his pain into songs...it's amazing..really
amazing
GOOD SONG it's one of my favorites...haha along with half the songs from std... ;) the fact that he wrote it because of a car crash makes sense...the part that says "So I floored it and swerved around the lanes. I kept wishing it were you instead of me behind the wheel..." makes sense because of it...
