A stretch of road, a strip of film

A car that goes wherever it will

With the windows down, you know the drill

And every scene′s a different place

Every minute's a mile I embrace

′Cause I would go anywhere

As long as it means your face pressed to the glass

Of the car I'm driving way too fast

Towards neon cities, shining so pretty

I watch the tape, I press rewind

Cut out the parts where we're not doing fine

So we stay pretty, so you still love me

I wanna be back in your atmosphere

Lay on my back ′til the feeling′s hyperreal

And my lungs begin to heal

I wanna take back all the things I said

Subvert the actors and actresses

Make my life a movie where you're the highlight reel

The moon′s a stone, I've seen it up close

You keep it in a jar

The car careens, we stay in place

Every minute′s a knot that you unlace

'Cause I would go anywhere

As long as it means my face pressed to the glass

Of the car you′re driving way too fast

Towards neon nothing, just to feel something

I wanna be back in your atmosphere

Lay on my back 'til the feeling's hyperreal

And my lungs begin to heal

I wanna take back all the things I said

Subvert the actors and actresses

Make my life a movie where you′re the highlight reel

We blur past everything

I zoom in on your crooked smile

We blur past everything

I wanna stay inside your head for a little while longer, longer

It′s the scene when the wind and I play with your hair

It's the part when the tape ends and you are no longer there

No longer there

You are no longer there

I wanna be back in your atmosphere

Lay on my back ′til the feeling's hyperreal

And my lungs begin to heal

I wanna take back all the things I said

Subvert the actors and actresses

Make my life a movie where you′re the highlight reel

We blur past everything

I wanna stay inside your head for a little while longer, longer
