I didn’t want you to drive me home
Tears on the steering wheel,
dripping on the seat
Sitting in cars getting trapped in cars
Sitting at the bottom of the shower
Sitting over the drain and watching the water level rise
Water draining
mirrors your eyes
as we fight and scratch in cars at night.
Yelling about nothing and fighting for each other
trapped
in
cars.
Where breath marks grey walls against glass,
fog of madness of fear
there’s no intimacy here.
Just sitting in cars getting trapped in cars.
Sitting at the bar with your friends at night
Finish your beer,
fog of madness of fear.
Tuck the glass in your pocket and make your excuse
Place it on the floor
and put your foot through it.
Clean
broken
glass
Where breath marks grey walls
getting trapped in cars
I didn’t want you to drive me home
so
Do me a favour,
And break my nose
Remind me that I’ll never be alone
He says he doesn’t love me
I didn’t ask if he did
He says he doesn’t love me
I didn’t ask if he did
Remind me that I’ll never be alone
I’ll never be alone
I’ll never be alone
I’ll never be
Grey walls remain with bleeding fist marks dotted along its side
Sitting in cars getting trapped in cars
And I watched, and I waited till she was inside
Forcing a smile and waving goodbye.
‘Do Me A Favour’ – Arctic Monkeys
Is the whole thing song lyrics?

No just the section in italics, from the Arctic Monkeys song listed at the bottom. However I like to think it reads together like song lyrics would.
Thanks for checking it out!
