[Verse 1]
Lose control
Metallic dreaming
Chrome and gold
White leather seating
[Chorus]
Going into the night
Like a flash in the dark
See the tears in our eyes
Fall of glittering stars
In American cars
I’ll let go of the wheel
And take hold of my heart
So before we crash
Kiss me under the stars
In American cars
[Verse 2]
Four by four
J. Ballard dreaming
Warmth and cold
Oh, what a feeling
(Come with me)
[Chorus]
Going into the night
Like a flash in the dark
See the tears in our eyes
Fall of glittering stars
In American cars
I’ll let go of the wheel
And take hold of my heart
So before we crash
Kiss me under the stars
In American cars
[Bridge: Spoken]
And we just go on
Traveling in the headlights' direction
When love is getting too complicated
And you don’t wanna think about that
Because words can be so overrated
Break free and then never look back
Break free and then never look back
Break free and then never look back
Break free and then never look back
No
[Chorus]
Going into the night
Like a flash in the dark
See the tears in our eyes
Fall of glittering stars
In American cars
I’ll let go of the wheel
And take hold of my heart
So before we crash
Kiss me under the stars
In American cars
Going into the night
Like a flash in the dark
See the tears in our eyes
Fall of glittering stars
In American cars
I’ll let go of the wheel
And take hold of my heart
So before we crash
Kiss me under the stars
In American cars
