I took a ride in my baby's car last night

And the wheels were golden

She drove a hole through that suffocating light

And my heart was stolen

I wouldn't sweat it if you ever steer me wrong

Baby, at least you're steering

You gotta throw that minor in the song

Just a little taste of misery

Lest the joyride last too long

Or the daydream empty

Or why spread the blankets on the lawn?

Or ever take the backstreets?

Quick to learn, bide your time

Slow to burn, mastermind

Quick to learn, bide your time

Slow to burn, mastermind

I could have loved you a million miles more

Flipping through the US Weekly

I never really mean to close those doors

I just let 'em hit me

And you told me freedom is a chore

I don't really get it

I've got a hunch you'll come to love it more

Just gotta take some credit

Quick to learn, bide your time

Slow to burn, mastermind

Quick to learn, bide your time

Slow to burn, mastermind

No fee or fine to levy

Baby, you ain't on trial

With no testimony ready

I just want to see you smile

It's enough to see you smile

Quick to learn, bide your time

Slow to burn, mastermind

Quick to learn, bide your time

Slow to burn, mastermind
