Can't help wondering what you're thinking 00:01
Wherever you are 00:07
Late night movies care less drinking 00:13
To cover these scars 00:21
And as much as I wanna be with you 00:26

You and me we're bumper cars 00:36

Lyrics:

[English]

Can't help wondering what you're thinking

Wherever you are

Late night movies care less drinking

To cover these scars

And as much as I wanna be with you

I know

You and me we're bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

No

Round and round we chase the sparks

But all that seems to lead to

It's a pile of broken parts

We're bumper cars

Bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

Good intentions, all these questions

We're sitting alone

All roads since you

Are wrong directions

I'll never give hope

And it's making me wanna be with you

I know

You and me we're bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

No

Round and round we chase the sparks

But all that seems to lead to

It's a pile of broken parts

We're bumper cars

Bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

Oh

This was supposed to be fun

This was supposed to be the one

Maybe we stayed too long

Maybe we played all wrong

This was supposed to be good

But I know, I know

...

You and me we're bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

No

Round and round we chase the sparks

But all that seems to lead to

It's a pile of broken parts

We're bumper cars

Bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

We're bumper cars

Bumper cars

The more I try to get to you

The more we crash apart

...
