Imogen Heap - Speeding Cars Lyrics






Here's the day you hoped would never come
Don’t feed me violence, just run with me
Through rows of speeding cars
The paper cuts, the cheating lovers
The coffee’s never strong enough
I know you think it’s more than just bad luck

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

Sleeping pills, no sleeping dogs lie never
Far enough away
Glistening in the cold sweat of guilt
I’ve watched you slowly winding down for years
You can’t keep on like this
Now is as bad of time as any

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It was a long time ago

It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It’s okay by me
It was a long time ago

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh don’t lose your head
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

There, there, baby
It’s just text book stuff
It’s in the ABC of growing up
Now, now, darlin’
Oh, don’t kill yourself
'Cause none of us were angels
And you know I love you, yeah

  1. A.... L....

    I love her

  2. S.... E....

    I wasn't a fan. After hearing this... I'm a fan.

  3. A.... M....

    My song to me after ending a toxic marriage

  4. E.... B....

    Can you please get this on Spotify asap!

  5. S.... W....

    This song gave me the courage to keep fighting as a teenager to keep hoping. It was so comforting.I lived through all the trauma of my abusive home. I lived. I still don’t know how. I am so thankful to you Imogene because now I have beautiful life with a family of my own that is still growing. And I fight for other foster kids. Thank you for your song.

  6. M.... ....

    I remember when my bff showed this to me in 2007...she took her life in 2011. Everytime I hear this song I think of her. She was the kindest person I've ever known, still to this day.

  7. T.... N....

    willow from buffy the vampire slayer ❤️

    My teenage years came and hit me with a chair

  18. B.... W....

    “I’ve watched you slowly winding down for years. You can’t keep on like this.” Reminds me of my mom. She makes such bad decisions.

    Jesús
    Este es el día que esperaste nunca llegará
    No me alimentes con violencia, solo corre conmigo
    Entre montones de carros acelerando
    Las cortadas de papel, los amantes infieles
    El café nunca es suficientemente fuerte
    Yo sé que piensas que es más que solo mala suerte

    Eh ahí, bebe
    es solo cosa de un libro de texto
    es en el ABC del crecimiento
    ahora, ahora, querido
    oh no pierdas la cabeza
    porque ninguno de nosotros fuimos ángeles
    y sabes que te amo

    pastillas para dormir,
    nunca un cachorro finge estar durmiendo
    lo suficientemente bien
    reluciendo en el sudor frió de la culpa
    Te he mirado encogerte lentamente por años
    no puedes continuar así
    pues ahora el tiempo es tan malo como siempre

    Eh ahí, bebe
    es solo cosa de un libro de texto
    es en el ABC del crecimiento
    ahora, ahora, querido
    oh no pierdas la cabeza
    porque ninguno de nosotros fuimos ángeles
    y sabes que te amo

    Todo esta muy bien conmigo
    Todo esta muy bien conmigo
    Todo esta muy bien conmigo
    Fue hace mucho tiempo

    Todo esta muy bien conmigo
    Todo esta muy bien conmigo
    Todo esta muy bien conmigo
    fue hace mucho- tiempo

    Eh ahí, bebe
    es solo cosa de un libro de texto
    es en el ABC del crecimiento
    ahora, ahora, querido
    oh no pierdas la cabeza
    porque ninguno de nosotros fuimos ángeles
    y sabes que te amo

    Eh ahí, bebe
    es solo cosa de un libro de texto
    es en el ABC del crecimiento
    ahora, ahora, querido
    oh no pierdas la cabeza
    porque ninguno de nosotros fuimos ángeles
    y sabes que te amo

    C.... M....

    Te amo u_u
    Estos dias lo he pasado tan bien
    Esperame, voy avanzando y te voy a alcanzar y te seguiré amando :(

  53. h.... ....

    2018... what timing. I was just thinking back to when this song pulled me from a dark moment in my life. I owe a lot to this song and keeping me here.

  54. a.... ....

    You are alive

  55. D.... B....

    Imogen, you really have a beautiful voice! I love it so much!

    D.... B....

    100% true.

  56. G.... R....

    amo tanto!

  57. B.... V....

    It seems like ages ago, but when I was going thru one of the worst times in my life and wasn't sure if I could continue on with all the death, money problems, and general chaos in my life, this song somehow seemed to settle my anxiety and made me feel that things weren't going to remain as bad. Things aren't super spectacular as of now, but they're a lot better, and this song still seems to help.

    B.... V....

    I hope things are better now, or at least getting better all the time.

    B.... V....

    @brendawg 800 yeah I hope that as well Brittany! Good luck!
