Story behind the song
A song of teenage love blooming in a bucket seat and dreams of writing a summer anthem.
Lyrics
pop music gives way to unsteady breaths
with nervous hands and eager lips
widened eyes are slowing shutting
and when your song plays you sing along
I want to write the song that you
first make out to
I want to write the song that you
sing along to
I want to write the song that you take the long way home just to hear
traffic light-stop just an excuse to touch
pull on over at your normal spot
put the car in park - this is how it starts
the DJ's talking talking but he don't know
I want to write the song that you
first make out to
I want to write the song that you
sing along to
I want to write the song that you take the long way home just to hear
this is the soundtrack to silence
for when your mouths get so quiet
and your hearts sing and scream out loud
background music for starry nights
I want to write the song that you
first make out to
I want to write the song that you
sing along to
I want to write the song that you take the long way home just to hear
