On Regret - Car Crash Lyrics

I could fix it if I could go back to the start
With a mechanic's hand and a liar's heart
Keep it from falling apart
Headwind blowing
You look pale in the dark
Headlights on, no direction
Buckle up

I'm not sure at which point
I let you down
Was it when I took the wheel
Or when I watched you drown?
Maybe the best of us died in this town
If we got out alive
Then why did we turn around?

Turn the ignition
Get into the car
I'll swerve off the road
We won't have to go far
I just wish the airbag didn't hit so hard
The things that save you
End up tearing you apart

Yellow dashes
Tire tracks
Broken glass
Car crash

Through the windshield, on the ground
The screech of the tires is
The most unpleasant sound
Against the roar of the engine
Stirring in our heads
Seems to ask the questions
Are we in our beds or are we dead?
Are words unspoken worse than words unsaid?
Can wounds reopened ever close again?
Are the sins of another just a dividend?
Did I lose a brother?
Did I lose a friend?

Turn the ignition
Get into the car
I'll swerve off the road
We won't have to go far
I just wish the airbag didn't hit so hard
The things that save you
End up tearing you apart

Yellow dashes
Tire tracks
Broken glass
Car crash

Empty bottles
Fractured hearts
Full throttle from a dead end start
As I stood up from the wreckage
I buried the blame with someone else
As if the past was the preface
My first thought was to save myself

But I'll carry you through this
Just don't count on me
Because the way that you're feeling's because
Because I chose to leave
Because I chose to leave

Turn the ignition
Get into the car
I'll swerve off the road
We won't have to go far
I just wish the airbag didn't hit so hard
The things that save you
End up tearing you apart
Yellow dashes
Tire tracks
Broken glass
Car crash

Just the fact that we got alive
Isn't enough to say that we're fine
