MIA

The day that we took out a car in the rain
Is the day you forgot how to brake
And see how quickly the picture will change
Filled with fingers and voices and teeth

I still remember holding my hand
Against your face, just before it was sprayed
Across the radio as it played

And you and me are still, but the scenery moves
Well, why would it stop? Just 'cause suddenly
There's one where there used to be two?
And everything's quiet

But yo, looks like the speaker lived through the blow
Still playing some compilation you made
Feels like a lifetime sitting alone
So I start humming along to the tape

I always liked this singer
I remember how you were the one who told me that her name
Was either Mia or M.I.A

And I am thinking
How many hours 'til I'm home?
How long do I stay in this place?
Who's going to wash all the blood from my clothes?
Who's gonna cancel my date?
Who's gonna cancel my date?

And I think
I always liked this singer
I remember how you were the one who told me that her name
Was either Mia-

Oh, I think
I always liked this singer
I remember how you were the one who told me that her name
Was either Mia or M.I.A

The day that we took out a car in the wet
I thought to myself that the sky was blue
As I'd ever seen it, but yet
Still tinted with red
