  Lyrics:

  Here in my car
  I feel safest of all
  I can lock all my doors
  It's the only way to live
  In cars.

  Here in my car
  I can only receive
  I can listen to you
  It keeps me stable for days
  In cars

  Here in my car
  The image breaks down
  Will you visit me please
  If I open my door
  In cars

  Here in my car
  I know I started to think
  About leaving tonight
  Although nothing feels right
  In cars.


 Have fun,

    Tim.
