Drive My Car

You don't listen when he says
 That you don't love him for his brain but for his head
 So pretty and so safe and so misread
 You don't need this kid
 Could it be this kid?
 And when all the hate you throw
 Is all you really need to cut him from below
 Seems like everyone got tickets to the show
 To watch your cheeks go red
 Could it be this kid?
 But girl, you speak so goddamn dangerous
 Could it be you're just like the rest of us?
 And though you try you know you can't escape from us
 When all he hears is the curse of what you did
 And all he knows is the need to keep you hid
 Could it be this kid?
 And when all your knights have come
 Each as gallant and as faithless as this one
 Will he be nothing more than just another one
 Another past you hid
 You hid it from this kid
 And as the wind instains your face
 You know there's no one but yourself who's out of place
 So fearful and so lost in his embrace
 You don't need this kid
 Could it be this kid?
 But girl, you speak so goddamn dangerous
 Could it be you're just like the rest of us?
 And though you try you know you can't escape from us
 When all he hears is the curse of what you did
 And all he knows is the need to keep you hid
 Could it be this kid?
 "It's hard," she said. "My fortune's been quite hard."
 "It's hard," she said. "My fortune's been quite hard."
 "This card," he said. "Don't play that victim card."
 "This card," he said. "Don't play that victim card."
 "Stars," she said. "This fate is crossed with stars."
 "It's God," he said. "It's that I'll disregard."
 "This jar," he said. "I'll leave the door ajar."
 "This car," he said. "'Cause you should drive my car."
 "Has this gone much too far?" she said. "Has this gone much too far?"
 "I don't know who you are. I don't know who you are."
 Just before you break in two, one last thing he'll say to you
 One last thing that's best unheard, should it be unsaid?
 I gave you more than you could take
 All that put was more at stake
 You keep your trophies on the wall
 Well I'll take the door instead
 'Cause you don't need this kid
 But girl, you speak so goddamn dangerous
 Could it be you're just like the rest of us?
 And though you try you know you can't escape from us
 When all he hears is the curse of what you did
 And all he knows is the need to keep you hid
 Could it be this kid?
