Car Trouble Lyrics by Owl City

Hey, so it’s a really long story
But I’ve been drivin’ all afternoon

I’ve been drivin’ all afternoon
But I hate to say it, I won’t be there soon
And though I’m late, you know I just can’t wait
To come home to my slice of heaven on toast
But my Grand Prix broke down without fail
Another flat tire and another nail
I miss your smile but this could take a while
‘Cause this “Road Closed” sign says there’s no way around
Explanation of Verse 1

Your photograph on my dash knows it’s true
It might take me forever, but I can’t wait to see you
Explanation of Chorus

On the side of this highway, ’cause back there when
I patched that flat, I ran on fumes
And that was a bad move ’cause yeah, I ran out of gas

Now I’m soaked to the bone, but I’m homeward bound
So I just don’t care how much I have to bear
‘Cause you’ll be there when I walk in through the door

It might take me forever, but I can’t wait to see you

[Bridge]
Well hey, I’d say that the real question is
Am I unavoidably detained
Or extremely fashionably late?
There ain’t nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really hasn’t been my day
But, I’m on my way
Am I unavoidably detained
Or just unbelievably, insanely, fashionably late?
There ain’t nothing ventured, nothing gained
It just really, truly, hasn’t been my day
But I’m on my way

[Verse 3]
If I blew in by daybreak, I’d be in luck
I’d hand you a coffee right when you woke up
But my ETA just jumped to MIA
And I’m so lost, my mind is startin’ to stray
Let’s say I fly to Kathmandu
To show the whole world I got a lot to prove
But all I find is all these highways wind
And lead back to my slice of heaven on toast
Explanation of Verse 3

It might take me forever
