Lying on the Hood of Your Car Songtext
von Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness

We were parked out by the launch pad
It was midnight
We were talking in the cold
Telling secrets under starlight
With the blue light of the cop cars
Getting close
We were climbing through the branches
Of a tree when time went missing
We were mapping avalanches and
Collapsing solar systems

Lying on the hood of your car
We thought we could fly
To the planets and stars
It was stunning
Lying on the hood of your car
A scaffold of lights
A world that was ours
The engine running
Lying on the hood of your car


You said this town′s too small to dream in
But if we never leave
We'll never know
I said "there′s nothing here for me and
You're the pilot I believe in
Time to go"
Nowhere but we made it so far

Lying on the hood of your car
We thought we could fly
To the planets and stars
It was stunning
Lying on the hood of your car
A scaffold lights
A world that was ours
The engine running
Lying on the hood of your car

With our backs against the windshield
And our hearts beating like thunder
We lay separate but connected
By the spell that we were under


Lying on the hood of your car
On the hood of your car
Lying on the hood of your call
We thought we could fly
To the planets and stars
It was stunning
Lying on the hood of your car
A scaffold of lights
A world that was ours
The engine running
Lying on the hood of your car
