lyrics
She said there’s something wrong
with the clutch and that this is her third
transmission, the brakes have all lost their
touch you could say it’s in bad condition,
she said:

How did I get this far?
Oh, how did I get this far?
In a car that’s completely broken
In a car that’s completely broken

She said that ever since she’s moved to this
town she’s heard this voice from her
window at night. It says “Nobody will ever
want you now, nobody in this world”,
it cries:

How did you get this far?
Oh, how did you get this far?
In a world that’s completely broken
In a world that’s completely broken

With all the things in this world
you’re such a sad little girl
with all the things I bring
the songs I sing
for you

She said go on with your life
It seems to be going so good, so far
I need to get a life
I wish I could play your guitar,
she said:

How did I get this far?
Oh, how did I get this far?
With a heart that’s completely broken
With a heart that’s completely broken
In a world that’s completely broken
In a world that’s completely broken

Oh with my heart
with my heart
