She was leanin' on a rail in a cotton dress Summer tanned pretty, little perfect mess With a story that could only be anybody's guess And I was thinkin' that I probably didn't stand a chance But I rolled up my sleeves, walked up and I said Hey, I don't know you but I'd kinda like a shot She said, I saw you comin' over, I already thought it over And ok, so now what And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's somethin' At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothin' I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are And she said, what do you think all this is goin' I said, there ain't no way of knowin' I guess I hadn't thought it through that far But I got a car So, we let the wheels turn and the windows down We let ourselves go all the way through town She never said stop and I never asked her why We drove into the night, when outta nowhere She said, I'd give anything to never go back there And I kinda wish this day would never end She said, I could use a change but I don't even know where to begin And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's somethin' At least it's a start, I said, it's better than nothin' I ain't in no hurry but I'm ready when you are And she said, what do you think all this is goin' I said, there ain't no way of knowin' I really hadn't thought it through that far And I can't promise you the moon and stars But I got a car We got lost in the miles, lost track of the days 'Til we finally found a stoppin' place When the doctor's said, you know what's on the way? And we found ourselves in a little white house One Sunday mornin', rain pourin' down She said, I think it's time but all the lines are out And her eyes teared up and she said, what are we gonna do now? And I said, well I got a car, she said, there's somethin' You think it'll start, I said, it's already runnin' Got your things in the back and I'm ready when you are She said, are you sure it'll get us where we're goin'? I said, if there's one thing I know girl, it's gotten us this far And I don't mean to hurry but I'm ready when you are

Honey, don't walk the streets alone at midnight yeah I said honey, don't walk the streets alone at midnight.

I drove up to the city at night And found the place where you grew up And then where you stayed And then we walked around And stayed up late Under city lights And I spent the night Next to you in the house where you grew up Next to you I miraculously woke up In your parents' house I lied in bed with you I went out to feel alone there I went back to wipe it clean I took the lights and radio towers out of my dreams We went all the way up to the small town where I'm from With foggy air And the wind And the mountain top And we clung to rocks And we looked off You held my hand You almost got to start feeling me I finally felt like I was breathing free And under swaying trees, we fell asleep and had the same dream The stars were bright We dream the same every night On my island home I spent some time with you I went back to feel alone there I went back there by myself And gave up on everything that we'd felt We found a precious place in the sand Right out in the wind And lied under a blanket And heard the furious sound The roar of waves The pounding surf Two bodies on the earth It was intense just getting to be there next to you And you were trying to get me then And I was happy to let you in I went back and wished I hadn't I went back and felt regret I went to the beach and I stared west Every night when the sun went down In the town where we live The empty streets were lit up By reflected light From a distant sun Bouncing off a glowing ball of rock We just lied on the roof and watched The moon The moon The blue light of the moon We didn't talk and silently we both felt powerful Like the moon my chest was full Because we both knew we're just floating in the same space over molten rock And we felt safe and discovered that our skin is soft There's nothing left except certain death And that was comforting under the moon I went out last night to forget that I went out and stared it down But the moon just stared back at me And in its light, I saw my two feet on the ground
