🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • Yeah, the night's not over
  • You're not trying hard enough
  • Our lives are changing lanes
  • You ran me off the road

Sing the opening verse

  • I was afraid that you would not insist
  • "You sound so sleepy, just take this, now leave me"
  • I said: "Please don't slow me down if I'm going too fast"
  • You're in a strange part of our town
you'refastenough
