Backseat

There was a silence
After the overwhelming conversation that I mistook
There was a car door, there were bright red tail lights
Set into motion by your foot
It was a hot night
It was a moonlit Sunday
We were driving on the 13th of June
I know I know I know she said, you are still angry
And I know I know I know she said, this really isn't the time
But how about
You me, forget it in the backseat
Clothes off, down around our feet
I say we give it a try
'Cause we could just pull off the side of this back road
No one would ever really have to know
Tonight it's just you and I
Silver quarters in a photo booth
It printed little pictures of you
Colors of midnight
Fluorescent waves in sight
As we were leaving Pier 13
It was open door and turn the key
And we just drove away
Silently, quietly
I know, I know I, know I said, you are still angry
And I know I know I know I said, this really isn't the time
But how about
You me, forget it in the backseat
Clothes off, down around our feet
I say we give it a try
'Cause we could just pull off the side of this back road
No one would ever really have to know
Tonight it's just you and I
Car turned off on the side of the road
Head lights pass and we duck down low
Jump in the back and we'll take it real slow
Real slow
Summer song on the radio
Dashboard lights make a dim halo
Two foot prints on a clouded window
Window
There was a silence, there was a silence...
So how about
You me, forget it in the backseat
Clothes off, down around our feet
I say we give it a try
'Cause we could just pull off the side of this back road
No one would ever really have to know
Tonight it's just you and I
So how about
You me, jump into the backseat
Clothes off, down around our feet
I say we give it a try
