Fuel Up (4AD Session)

Curled up in the back of the car Nine years old you don't know where you are And your head's on the window, your eyes are just closed There's a voice in the front and a hush on the road You're a passenger but your mind is travelling on Open your eyes and you're nine years older Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over To lie with your first love, you can't wait to see her You borrowed the car and you think you're the driver But now you're the passenger to your own heart And it takes you travelling, travelling on When the morning broke and the sky fell down It went black as night and the wind blew round And stole your directions, you lost your way home And you felt like a passenger left by the road But I'll tell you the reason you couldn't get home Cause there's nowhere you've been and it's nowhere you're going Home is only a feeling you get in your mind From the people you love and you travel beside You may feel like a passenger but now you're the driver You've got to go travelling, travelling on Because if you break down, it's a cold, hard shoulder So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on Drive on, drive on And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder Drive on, drive on And it's nine more years you've been driving now But tonight you're stumbling through your old town You met up with a schoolfriend who's still just the same And you talked all the same shit you talked in those days And now you're drunk and you're sad for the old times passing you by For there's no rewind so you might as well play while your time is rolling away And get back on the road, it's a beautiful day Pick up all the friends you can find on your way And if you lose direction they'll be there guiding you on Guiding you, guiding you on Because we're all going the same way down this long road Yes, we're all bound the same way down this long, long road So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart and drive on Drive on, drive on And when your days are darker, put your foot down harder Drive on Fuel up, and drive on Fuel up, and drive on Drive on
