on the motorway

Metronomy

I went and messed around with her heart
So now she s run off with my car
But I can t live without her
(and it s so hard to take)
So I ve set off out to find her
I m back on the motorway

At this wheel I d drive the earth for her
Every carriageway a mile for her
These five gears and wheels could drive to her
But this carriageway can t take me there

Drivin at ninety miles per hour
It s hard to know what s comin
Then on the horizon
Something makes me brake
I can see me darlin ahead on the motorway
(I can see us dying on the bonnet of a chevrolet)
So why s my baby lying on the side of the motorway

(I wish that I had never said
The things that I d told her today)
Cos now she s left me
Crying on the shoulder of the motorway
