Fuel Up (Explicit)

Fuel Up - Stornoway

Written by：Oliver Steadman/Brian Briggs/Robert Steadman/Jonathan Ouin

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 travelling 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 travelling

Travelling 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 travelling

Travelling 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 nine more years

You've been driving now

But tonight you're stumbling through your old town

You met up with a schoolfriend

Who's still just the same

And you talked all the same sh*t 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

Because we're all on the same way

Down this long road

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 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
