Lyrics
I was hurling down hill
I was picking up speed
From the shear load of distress
Faulty brakes and no sleep.
I was hurling down hill
Desperate enough to kill
I was hurling down hill
You were my runaway truck ramp
I was your getaway car
So we both served our purpose
That much I can see
This is it for us
Now there’s you
And there is me
You were running out of steam
Trying to get from A to B
So you took one day at a time
But anyone could see
You were running out of steam
So for a while we were the perfect team
’Cause you were running out of steam
You were my runaway truck ramp
I was your getaway car
So we both served our purpose
That much I can see
But this is it for us
Oh
You were my runaway truck ramp
I was your getaway car
So we both served our purpose
That much I can see
But this is it for us
Now there is you
And there is me
