Stornoway - Fuel Up lyrics
[Stornoway - Fuel Up lyrics]
Curled up in the back of the car
Nine years old, you don't know where you are
And your head's on the window
Your eyes are just closed
There's a voice in the front and
A hush on the road
You're a passenger but your
Mind is traveling on
Open your eyes and you're nine years older
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over
To lie with your first love
You can't wait to see her
You borrowed the car and you
Think you're the driver
But now you're the passenger
To your own heart
And it takes you traveling, traveling on
When the morning broke and the sky fell down
It went black as night and
The wind blew round
And stole your directions
You lost your way home
And you felt like a passenger
Left by the road
But, I'll tell you the reason
You couldn't get home
Cause there's nowhere you've been and
It's nowhere you're going
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind
From the people you love
And you travel beside
You may feel like a passenger
But now you're the driver
You've got to go traveling, traveling on
Because if you break down, it's a cold
Hard shoulder
So fuel up your mind and fire
Up your heart and drive on
Drive on, drive on
And when your days are darker
Put your foot down harder drive on, drive on
And it's 9 more years you've been driving now
But tonight you're stumbling through
Your old town
You met up with a school friend
Who's still just the same
And you talked all the same shit
You talked in those days
And now you're drunk and you're sad for
The old times passing you by
For there's no rewind so you
Might as well play
While your time is rolling away
And get back on the road
It's a beautiful day
Pick up all the friends you
Can find on your way
And if you lose direction they'll
Be there guiding you on
Guiding you, guiding you on
We're all going the same way
Down this long road (So fuel up)
Yes, we're all bound the same
Way down this long, long road
So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart
And drive on, drive on, drive on
And when your days are darker
Put your foot down harder
Drive on fuel up and drive on
Fuel up and drive on drive on
Nine years old, you don't know where you are
And your head's on the window
Your eyes are just closed
There's a voice in the front and
A hush on the road
You're a passenger but your
Mind is traveling on
Open your eyes and you're nine years older
Hands on the wheel and you're racing on over
To lie with your first love
You can't wait to see her
You borrowed the car and you
Think you're the driver
But now you're the passenger
To your own heart
And it takes you traveling, traveling on
When the morning broke and the sky fell down
It went black as night and
The wind blew round
And stole your directions
You lost your way home
And you felt like a passenger
Left by the road
But, I'll tell you the reason
You couldn't get home
Cause there's nowhere you've been and
It's nowhere you're going
Home is only a feeling you get in your mind
From the people you love
And you travel beside
You may feel like a passenger
But now you're the driver
You've got to go traveling, traveling on
Because if you break down, it's a cold

So fuel up your mind and fire
Up your heart and drive on
Drive on, drive on
And when your days are darker
Put your foot down harder drive on, drive on
And it's 9 more years you've been driving now

So fuel up your mind and fire up your heart
And drive on, drive on, drive on

Put your foot down harder
Drive on fuel up and drive on
Fuel up and drive on drive on
