Always Crashing In The Same Car ’s lyrics express the frustration of making the same mistake over and over. The narrator of the song recounts driving at high speed in circles around a hotel garage, cautiously checking for danger, yet still inevitably crashing, while a girl named Jasmine looks on.
[Verse 1]
Every chance, every chance that I take
I take it on the road
Those kilometers and the red lights
I was always looking left and right
[Chorus]
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car
[Verse 2]
Jasmine, I saw you peeping
As I pushed my foot down to the floor
I was going round and round the hotel garage
Must have been touching close to 94
[Chorus]
Oh, but I'm always crashing in the same car
Yeah, yeah
