Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness
Lying on the Hood of Your Car
[Verse 1]
We were parked out by the launchpad
It was midnight, we were talking in the cold
Telling secrets under starlight
With the blue light of the cop cars getting close

[Pre-Chorus]
We were climbing through the branches
Of a tree when time went missing
We were mapping avalanches and
Collapsing solar systems

[Chorus]
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 sky full of lights
A world that was ours, the engine running
Lying on the hood of your car

[Verse 2]
You said this town’s too small to dream in
But if wе never leavе, 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
[Chorus]
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 sky full of lights
A world that was ours, the engine running
Lying on the hood of your car

[Bridge]
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

[Chorus]
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 sky full of lights
A world that was ours, the engine running
Lying on the hood of your car

[Outro]
Lying on the hood of your car
Lying on the hood of your car
Lying on the hood of your car
Lying on the hood of your car
