You could tell I was nervous and that's nothing new.
You said "Come with me, there's something that I want to show you."
So, expecting anything, I took your hand reluctantly.
It wasn't long until you were saying "sorry."
I barely knew your name, but I was intrigued.
You said "Love is guess and check" and I guess I would agree.
I barely knew your name, but there I was in the passengers seat
to see if I had guessed correctly.
That's when your shirt got caught in a barbed wire fence and I kissed you, in the freezing cold.
I didn't know that you smoked.
That's when we got in your car and you drove back home 'til you spun out, we were close to death.
And I held my breath just for you.
Just for you.
You said you wanted movie scenes and melodies,
but it's a lot of pressure trying to be the man of someone's dreams.
So, I put my guard up, naturally
and I lost sight of you along the way.
That's when your shirt got caught in a barbed wire fence and I kissed you, in the freezing cold.
And I should have known that you smoked.
That's when we got in your car and you drove back home 'til you spun out, we were close to death.
And I held my breath just for you.
