We used to stay all night To watch the shadows moving But somewhere out of sight Our backyard woods kept burning There were embers in the air And the engine kept on running But the drivers disappeared The wheels have all stopped turning And i wonder Did we go too far In the pursuit of a speeding car I wonder Did we go too far In the pursuit of a burning car And we've started counting days We kept them on our fingertips The day we parted ways With our fleet of sinking ships And i wonder Did we go too far In the pursuit of a speeding car I wonder Did we go too far In the pursuit of a burning car And we're staying up all night to watch our shadows moving Our hometown keeps on burning
