lyrics

I heard a new song
Last night
And it was our song by the time the dark turned to daylight
And it was your face
On my mind
The girl from class who rolls her eyes every time I walk on by
And I know we're from different sides of the street now
I drive a blue beater Chevrolet, you drive a Mercedes Benz now
But we're not so far apart
So I'm hatching this plan built to steal your heart

And I know it's dumb trying to change your mind
But if you'd give me a shot you might just like a guy who plays guitar all the time
And I'll learn the words to all your favorite songs
And we could sing along to them together, baby, out on that two lane road

The smell of summer
Of long nights
Of driving 'round til the radio plays a song that sounds all right
The smell of your hair
On my clothes
From kissing down on the beach before you told me it was time to go
And I know that youth is just a shout into the breeze now
And you leave for college in the fall
But we got two months to do this right
So let's not waste another night
Let's not waste another night

So if you give me a chance we'll work this whole thing out
I'll get the night off from work and take you dancing downtown
And you might just see me for who I really am
And on the way home you might just kiss me on the side of that two lane road

We broke the rules again
Stayed out past 3 a.m.
And now I'm driving home alone
The stars are glowing bright
I think maybe tonight
We'll stay out past the rising sun
And make that drive last all night long
Because I don't think
That I can do it alone

Now I know it's late and our curfews are blown
But what's the point in playing by the rules when it's you and me out here all alone?
I can just turn left and take the short way home
Or I can take a right and you can stay with me out on this two lane road
