Speeding Cars Lyrics

Lyric discussion by Rineay 

Cover art for Speeding Cars lyrics by Imogen Heap

i don't think it has anything to do with boyfriend/girlfriend relationships. i think it's about a friend who is in need. her friend is in trouble, denying life's possibilities. her friend has experienced rejection and betrayal. saying "none of us were angels" shows her friend that nobody's perfect and we all experience heartbreak. but it's nothing to kill ourselves over. it's a part of life. "the coffee's never strong enough" means we're always striving for something more when we expect a certain outcome, but we don't always get what we expect. her friend is suicidal, but she says what he/she feels is a part of life and nothing to kill ourselves over.
