lyrics
Minus thirty, engine on Parked outside your place till dawn Your light's on, but you were gone Fuck it, I've been here too long Exhaust clouds like ghosts I raise You love me in delays I read your name in the haze Then drive away, always I keep the engine on Never staying long I keep the engine on Warm but halfway gone Engine on, engine on Love me quick before the dawn Your hoodie in my back seat Smells like smoke and deceit I should throw it in the street Instead I sleep in it — repeat I keep the engine on Never staying long I keep the engine on Warm but halfway gone Engine on, engine on Love me quick before the dawn Baby, I don't park I idle in the dark If you ever asked me to stay I'd probably drive away — anyway I keep the engine on Never staying long I keep the engine on Warm but halfway gone Engine on, engine on Love me quick before the dawn Engine on Still warm, still gone
