It is the third promotional single for Allday’s upcoming fourth studio album titled “Drinking With My Smoking Friends”.
On the day prior to its officia...
[Verse 1]
We gotta get out of this place
I don't think no one will miss me
The city is full of our mistakes
We'll follow roads to the next state, yeah
I don't mind taking the long way
Motorbike skids in the pouring rain
Yeah, I don't believe the lies they say
I'm tryna be yours
[Chorus]
Let me know when you get out tonight
'Cause we've been waiting to leave this city our whole lives
We'll sleep under the stars, sleep under the stars
We'll be drinking stolen drinks, driving stolen cars
Woah, yeah
[Verse 2]
We gotta get out of wasteland
Working down here, I'm a dead man
I'll put a ring on your left hand
Under diamond skies when we first dance
Before you blow out your candles
I'm comin' 'round with the tank full
So tell your boss to write that cheque up, now or never
[Chorus]
Let me know when you get out tonight
'Cause we've been waiting to leave this city our whole lives
We'll sleep under the stars, sleep under the stars
We'll be drinking stolen drinks, driving stolen cars
Woah, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna take you far from home
I wanna fill you up with hope
And earn your love, your love, your love
I wanna take you far from home
I wanna fill you up with hope
And earn your love, your love, your love
[Bridge]
Pack your things, we'll make a run
Through the trees, away from harm
We'll be the king and queen for once
In the palace, when the money comes
The papers say we're modern rebels
They say we robbed a bank together
By the time the cops come bust us
We'll be laying dead in a bed full of hundreds
(Bang, bang)
[Chorus]
So let me know when you get out tonight
'Cause we've been waiting to leave this city our whole lives
We'll sleep under the stars, sleep under the stars
We'll be drinking stolen drinks, driving stolen cars
Woah, yeah
[Post-Chorus]
I wanna take you far from home
I wanna fill you up with hope
And earn your love, your love, your love
(I wanna take you)
I wanna take you far from home
I wanna fill you up with hope
And earn your love, your love, your love

In Clash Magazine, Allday said:
[The song] is about two people who think they can get away from everything and start over. I think it’s sort of a universal feeling, most people have been inside the weird dream of young love before. It doesn’t always last, but the optimism of that moment is somethin...
I was trying to do a Prince or ’80s David Bowie thing here. ‘Stolen Cars’ is an over the top romantic Bonnie & Clyde story. Early in the album process, I considered giving the album a clear narrative. ‘Fast Ride’ and ‘Stolen Cars’ were going to be the early part of the story. But then I decided...
