Lyrics:
The sun’s rays don’t bother me
No, they cast down such a wonderful heat
Masking beauty by a terrible fate
If you fly too close and then you turn too late
The night still confuses me
We’d all get tired and have to sleep eventually
Regardless of the sun’s demands
Regardless if it made much sense
You move so far that I know how far
And then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
Yes, I’ll come get you and I will bring you home
I’ll come get you and I will bring you home
He sat me down, he said he was incomplete
He thinks that true love’s gonna get him back on his feet
He said you only find love once in your life
So I guess when you find it
You gonna hold it right, ya hold it right
It makes no sense ‘cause there’s no sense in it at all
And we all wait around, we wait for you to get tired and fall
As your shadow, well it resumes with me
Yes your shadow, well it was made for me
She speaks clearly, he speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
Yeah she speaks clearly, he speaks loudly
I speak only clearly loudly
And my shadow, well it resumes with me
Yes, my shadow, well it was made for me
She told me love will come once in your life
So I guess when you find it
You gonna hold it right, you gonna hold it right
You hold it right
You move so far that I know exactly how far
And then you got so sad that I, I bought a car
Yes I’ll come get you and I will bring you home
I’ll come get you and I will bring you home
I’ll come get you and I’ll say welcome home

Trivia and Quotes:
“This is called the car song. I play it, I don't really even like the song that much anymore, but when we recorded it, we went away right away after we recorded the album and my dad phoned me and we had cello on it and he was like crying. My dad, like is not, like an emotion person, and he's like "It's so beautiful babe" and I was like "My dad just called me babe!" Anyway, I wonder why it made him cry.” - Tegan in 2001
