Lighter Than the Air

I remember riding in your car without a seat belt I remember the words I tried to say that wouldn’t come out When after the show the streets filled with kids All waiting to get inside And the last bus left ten minutes ago So I asked you for a ride [Chorus] And we were lighter than the air In the back of your car that blew around my hair And 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, and the spare key was missing And inside the car you answered your phone And fiddled with the radio And on the front porch, I turned around And I waved [Chorus] 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 can’t give me the things that I want [Chorus] It’s not the point to get it right, growing up takes a couple tries It’s not the point to get it right the first time
