Driving in your car With the windows down And the beat up stereo Struggle with this town 'cause you love to hate it And hate it to let it go And we're all alone And so tired of being Underrated So don't take me home 'cause I feel alive When you come and save me A yellow car Speeding down the South side freeway We'll rewrite this movie Make it end like we want it to And Casey When you go Can you come and find me Wanna be beside you When you leave this town I've been waving goodbye Pretending not to cry I want to be someone If you take me away All the pain will change Into a memory, Of when we were amazing 1989 Summer had hit But it was not moving What is it with this town? Every time we win It just feels like losing We were never gonna fit in I was a mixed up kid And you were my sanity In a yellow car We don't even have to go far 'cause that song you're playing Sounds like peace on the radio And Casey When you go Can you come and find me Wanna be beside you When you leave this town I've been waving goodbye Pretending not to cry I want to be someone If you take me away All the pain will change Into a memory Of when we were amazing When we were amazing I know things will change Casey stay the same Take me away Oh, we don't have to go far Yeah, we don't have to go far I know Casey When you go Can you come and find me Wanna be beside you When you leave this town I've been waving goodbye Pretending not to cry I want to be someone If you take me away All the pain will change Into a memory Of when we were When we were Casey When you go Can you come and find me Wanna be beside you When you leave this town I've been waving goodbye Pretending not to cry I want to be someone If you take me away All the pain will change Into a memory Of when we were amazing When we were Driving in your car With the windows down And the beat up stereo Oh, oh I wanna I'm gonna I wanna Be someone I wanna I'm gonna I wanna Be someone (I will run to you I will come to you I will run to you I will come to you) Come on and get me Come on and rescue me (I will run to you I will come to you I will run to you I will come to you) Coming through the sky Like a satellite Like a radio wave A meteorite
