I remember riding in your car without a seat belt I remember the words I tried to say that wouldn’t come out
And after the show the street filled with kids All waiting to get inside The last bus left ten minutes ago So I asked you for a ride
And we were lighter than the air In the back of your car that blew around my hair We were lighter than the air And the words you sang wrong, I tried to tell you not to care It’s not the point to get it right the first time
The streetlight on the corner near my house, it clocked out early I walked across my front lawn in the dark, the spare key was missing
And inside the car you answered your phone And fiddled with the radio On the front porch, I turned around And I waved
And we were lighter than the air In the back of your car that blew around my hair We were lighter than the air And the words you sang wrong, I tried to tell you not to care It’s not the point to get it right the first time
I remember everything about that winter Our days were unhinged like your bedroom door When I told you that you needed to be honest But you just stared at the crack on the floor Cause you cant give me the things that I want
And we were lighter than the air In the back of your car that blew around my hair We were lighter than the air And the words you sang wrong, I tried to tell you not to care It’s not the point to get it right growing up takes acouple tries It’s not the point to get it right the first time
