[Chorus: Sample]
We don't know where we're goin'
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we're driving in your car
We don't know where we're goin'
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we stay the way we are
[Verse 1: Foster]
Yeah
I'll be complete as long as you're still in the passenger's seat (Seat)
Beside me, singing to our favorite song we've had on repeat (Yeah)
Since Friday night, I called and woke you up, was parked down the street (Street)
Said "Come with me, let's take a drive, until the tank hits E" (E)
And we were just sixteen ('Teen)
So sneaking out was routine (Yup)
I swear your dad woulda killed me if we ever got seen (Seen)
But it was always worth the risk when you hopped in the whip (Whip)
'Cause there was truly no one else I would have rather been with (For real)
[Refrain: Foster]
We would just cruise around while we talked all night (Night)
Windows down, with our hands held tight (Tight)
Yeah, yeah
Just cruise around til the sky turn bright (Bright)
As long as I'm with you, it's all alright ('Right)
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Sample, with Foster]
And we don't know where we're goin'
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we're driving in your car
We don't know where we goin'
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we stay the way we are
[Verse 2: Foster]
Yeah
I'll be complete as long as you're still in the passenger's seat (Yeah)
We're twenty-three now, still drivin' in that same black Jeep (Jeep)
I keep your picture on the dash so we're never apart ('Part)
And when I'm passing by your street, I pull over and park (Damn)
Bittersweet, but memories can last more than a lifetime (True)
Just happened to be at the right place at the wrong time (Yeah)
In my mind, it's my fault, if only I knew (If only I knew)
I never saw him run that stop sign, was starin' at you (Starin' at you)
[Refrain: Foster]
Now I just cruise around while we talk all night (Night)
Windows down with my hand held tight (Held tight)
Yeah, yeah
Just cruise around til the sky turns bright (Bright)
As long as I'm with you, it's all alright ('Right)
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus: Sample, with Foster]
And we don't know where we're goin'
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we're driving in your car
We don't know where we goin'
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we stay the way we are
[Outro: Foster]
But I don't care as long as I have you
And we stay the way we are
