lyrics

Your part died out, but I stuck around.
Took a chance and asked, "Can I kiss you?"
Hill start, went the wrong way, cars stuck, called AAA
and we stayed awake, laying around until a quarter of four.

I've been wondering why,
I've been wondering how come
I couldn't figure you out
I couldn't figure you out now

It was a hazy night, one that goes too fast
Until you left without a word,
I went looking all over town
Went to your house, third time around you were finally home
Wouldn't tell me why you'd gone
You just looked back blankly at me

And know you're deep inside yourself
Hiding before to get away
Always asking what they want, never getting what you need before
Now we're tethered
Catching our breath now, only too slow
Running alone on this field in our bare feet
Climbed the roof and we broke in
Is this mic on? Watch that scoreboard glow
Making a scene so now we better run

I can tell that you've got a charm that could work on me
I can tell that you've got a charm that could work on me
When you smile disapprovingly at me leaving this dream team

I was telling you not to go home
I was telling you, the night before the lights when out in this house
Love isn't easily fooled
