Overdrive
Laura Clare
At the back of a record shop on Hope Street
You told me Stevie Nicks looked just like me
As meetings go, it was okay
Something to tell the kids one day
Cause even though it’s only been a week or two
I'm starting to build my life around you
Down by the shore, you ask about all my dreams
I kept it cool over a chocolate ice-cream
You said you weren’t flirting, but I hoped you were
I said I wasn’t falling, but you knew better
And maybe it’s just in the heat of June
But life tastes a little sweeter with you
Let’s put this thing into overdrive
Strike a match on this reckless love and burn it down tonight
We’ll show them all what this baby can do
And I'm not scared 'cause I'm with you
Pedal to the floor, we’re flying down this road
And maybe we’ll find forever as we go
And so we dance under the bright blue sky
At some point, I noticed how it matched your eyes
And something about them made me feel alright
When I was scared that we’d never survive
You put your shaking hand in mine
And somehow made me feel alright
If this is going down, then let me fall like this forever
Let’s put this thing into overdrive (overdrive)
Strike a match on this reckless love and burn it down tonight
We’ll show them all what this baby can do
And I'm not scared 'cause I'm with you
Pedal to the floor, we’re flying down this road
And maybe we’ll find forever as we go
Don’t get any ideas ‘bout leaving this behind
Don’t put me in your rearview, wanna be by your side
Nothing about this was in my plans
I wear your shirt and put my heart in your hands
Don’t get any ideas ‘bout leaving this behind
Don’t put me in your rearview, wanna be by your side
And I don’t think I’ve ever wished this hard
For things to stay the way they are
Let’s put this thing into overdrive (overdrive)
Strike a match on this reckless love and burn it down tonight
We’ll show them all what this baby can do
And I'm not scared 'cause I'm with you
Pedal to the floor, we’re flying down this road
And maybe we’ll find forever as we go
If time is on our side, then we can stay like this forever
