There's a stranger in a car Driving down your street Acts like he knows who you are Slaps his hand on the empty seat and says "Are you gonna get in Or are you gonna stay out?" Just a stranger in a car Might be the one they told you about Well you never were one for cautiousness You open the door He gives you a tender kiss And you can't even hear them no more --All the voices of choices Now only one road remains And strangers in a car Two hearts Two souls Tonight Two lanes You don't know where you're goin' You don't know what you're doin' Hell it might be the highway to heaven And it might be the road to ruin But this is a song For strangers in a car Baby maybe that's all We really are Strangers in a car (Driving down your street) Just strangers in a car (Driving down your street) Strangers in a car .Marc Cohn
About This Quote
To tell you what this means it might be easier to just let the song do the talking. It's a good song by an amazing artist, but I cannot stress enough that he is telling us that he doesn't know where he is going or where he is going to end up. He is not sure if its the highway to heaven or the road to ruin. He is not sure what he is doing or why he is doing it.
He feels like maybe this isn't right for him, but he can't stop himself from continuing along this road. If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times, love can feel like a stranger in a car when you least expect it to happen.
