The day that we took out a car in the rain

Is the day you forgot how to brake

And see how quickly the picture will change

Filled with fingers and voices and teeth

I still remember holding my hand

Against your face, just before it was sprayed

Across the radio as it played

And you and me are still, but the scenery moves

Well, why would it stop? Just 'cause suddenly

There's one where there used to be two?

And everything's quiet

But yo, looks like the speaker lived through the blow

Still playing some compilation you made

Feels like a lifetime sitting alone

So I start humming along to the tape

I always liked this singer

I remember how you were the one who told me that her name

Was either Mia or M.I.A

And I am thinking

How many hours 'til I'm home?

How long do I stay in this place?

Who's going to wash all the blood from my clothes?

Who's gonna cancel my date?

Who's gonna cancel my date?

And I think

I always liked this singer

I remember how you were the one who told me that her name

Was either Mia-

Oh, I think

I always liked this singer

I remember how you were the one who told me that her name

Was either Mia or M.I.A

The day that we took out a car in the wet

I thought to myself that the sky was blue

As I'd ever seen it, but yet

Still tinted with red
