Brake Lights - Rachael Fahim, Vlado

Tire tracks stretch from here to who knows where

The smell of car still hanging in the air

The dust and truth are setting in

You’re gone and you’re not coming back again

And it all happened so fast out the door with your bags

No explanation, no hesitation

And I’m still standing here, frozen with tears in my eyes

Cause I was hoping for brake lights

Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens

And you get out say you don’t know what you were thinkin'

Never gonna leave but no I didn’t even see brake lights

Am I supposed to go back in the house, now

Or get into my car and chase you down

Well honestly I don’t know what to do

Still can’t wrap my head around the fact that I lost you

And it all happened so fast out the door with your bags

No explanation, no hesitation

And I’m still standing here, frozen with tears in my eyes

Cause I was hoping for brake lights

Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens

And you get out say you don’t know what you were thinkin'

Never gonna leave but no I didn’t even see brake lights

No I didn’t even see brake lights

I saw zero to eighty

Your bright headlights fading out into the dark

And I’m still in the dark

Cause it all happened so fast out the door with your bags

No explanation, no hesitation

Cause I was hoping for brake lights

Flashin' red in the middle of the street and the door opens

And you get out say you don’t know what you were thinkin'

Never gonna leave but no I didn’t even see brake lights

No I didn’t even see brake lights
