Cars Not Leaving Lyrics - Singles - Gabriel Bruce

VERSE 1 

There's a game that's always played 

And always won by fools 

But everyone I know 

Would rather never play than lose 

There's a place where the innocent stand 

Proud before the firing squad 

There's a church at the end of the path 

Where the sound meets beware of the God 

There's you in the alley 

There's me walking away 

Those three words still hang in the air 

I swore I would never say 

CHORUS: (x2) 

So hold on now, just hold on a minute 

This car's not leaving if you're not in it 

You've no idea how lucky we are 

A wound that deep would normally scar 

VERSE 2 

I heard there was a place where the light 

Managed to cut through the dark 

But that was just a story for children 

And my chest is just a grave for my heart 

There's a phone that's always ringin' 

Answer, and a child will say 

I'd rather take my own life 

Than give it away 

And as you wander the west-way 

For to hide from the rain 

And I'm taking your picture 

To be sure that I'll see you again 

CHORUS (x2) 

And I see willows holding hands, 

Hurt birds singing harmony, 

The bodies of water's caressed by land 

And the river's mouth is kissing the sea (all right!) 

CHORUS (x2)
