wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair [2x]
drillin' a hole with my soul
in the sand
diggin' for gold
for the hole [whore?], in the bed
catchin' a ride from a band
I sat in the back of the van
they tried to make me understand
'cause if I'm not in a band, don't mean I'm square
and if I am, well then I don't care
wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair
number two has got me confused
hope I'll always be numbers one and three [2x]
wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair [2x]
drillin' a hole with my soul
in the sand
diggin' for gold
for the ho, in the bed
catchin' a ride from a band
I sat in the back of the van
they tried to make me understand
that if I'm not in a band, doesn't mean I'm square
and if I am, well then I don't care
wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair [2x]
you said, hell, well I don't care
if you run your hands through my car wash hair
wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair
you said, hell, well I don't care
if you run your hands through my car wash hair
wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair
you said, hell, well I don't care
if you run your hands through my car wash hair
wanna ask but I just stare
can I run my hands through your car wash hair
