[Verse 1]
There are days when i feel that everything that's good is gone
There are times that i feel no matter what i do, it's wrong
I've walked these streets alone just living day to day
Clocking in, fading out, don't tell me what i'm feeling now
You shook my dreams away

[Chorus]
Tired of waiting around
Now, what are we becoming
Keep the car running
The only answer i know
Never taking it slow
Just it keep it coming
Keep the car running
I'm not leaving without you, you're the one i can't lose
Say goodbye to all the things in life that tried to pull us down
Yeah, we'll make something out of nothing
Yeah, yeah, keep the car running

[Verse 2]
And i can hear the sound of that dream
Where the engines fill the boulevard
Innocence is never lost
When you feel it pounding in your heart
Don't tell me it's over now
This ain't the time to rest
Bruised and battered, torn and tattered
Look at me, it doesn't matter
Still got some fight left

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
We are, we are, we are the start of something new
Close your eyes and come with me and just hold onto
We are, we are, we are the only thing that's true
Just believe it's you and me and know that we can't lose

[Chorus]

[Outro]
We are, we are, we are the start of something new
Yeah, keep the car running
We are, we are, we are the only thing that's true
Just believe it's you and me and know that we can't lose
We are, we are, we are the only thing that's true
Yeah, just keep the car running
We are, we are, we are the only thing that's true
Yeah, keep the car running

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
