Driving in your car

Struggle with this town

Cuz you love to hate it

And hate to let it go

And we're all alone

And so tired of being

Underrated

When you come and save me

A yellow car

Speeding down the Southside freeway

We'll rewrite this movie

Make it end like we want it to

When you leave this town

I've been waving goodbye

I want to be someone

If you take me away

All the pain will change

Into a memory...

Of when we were amazing

Nineteen Eighty Nine

Summer had hit

What is it with this town?
G
Every time we win

It just feels like losing

We were never gonna fit in

I was a mixed up kid
    A
And you were my sanity

In a yellow car

We don't even have to go far

Sounds like peace on the radio
