about

This song began its life as an instrumental track written by our brother. Georgie then took parts of that instrumental and wrote lyrics over them, and Steph added the cool choir part. The lyrics are about a person Georgie knew at the time who seemed lost in her own life, hence the metaphor 'car without a driver'.

lyrics

When I picked her up
By the side of the road
Didn’t know where
She’d come from
Or where she was going
There she was like
A rolling stone
I said come on honey won’t
You come on home
She said take me back
To the old race track
I must have jumped the gun
She said excuse me stranger
Oh won’t you be the one

She’s a car without a driver
She’s a guitar without a player
She’s a sinking sinking
Ship without a flare
She said excuse me stranger
Don’t you see this
Trouble that I’m in
Oh I’m never gonna
Make it home

Eyes wide, lookin like a child
Tryin tryin not to cry
Might break down any time
Will she find her way

There must be some mistake
She said I wasn’t supposed
To end up here
By the side of the road
She said excuse me
These hands of mine
Are empty don’t you see
She said stranger won’t you
Stranger won’t you be the one
To put my pain at ease

(Stranger won’t you be the one)
