Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, we were sitting at the car park, it was getting dark
She find a stereo and play it so loud
We had no drivers licenses so stole mother's car, stole mother's car
Never know I'd slowly took you home
[Chorus]
I wanted to kiss you just to keep you warm
Outside the car, was raging raining storm
[Verse 2]
Oh, we were sitting at the carpark, it was after dark
We were listening to your songs
From the mixtape I made for your birthday, for your birthday
We both knew there was something wrong
[Chorus]
I wanted to kiss you just to chase away these thoughts
It seemed like you had already known
Then in a few months, I'll leave this town
I'll be at college, living in the brand new life
And you, my dear, you'll stay here
At your daddy's office, working from nine to five
[Verse 3]
Oh, we were sitting at the carpark, it was getting dark
She find a stereo played so loud
We had no drivers licenses so stole mother's car, stole mother's car
Never know I'd slowly took you home
[Chorus]
I wanted to kiss you just to chase away these thoughts
It seemed like you had already known
Then in a few months, I'll leave this town
I'll be at college, living in the brand new life
And you, my dear, you'll stay here
At your daddy's office, working from nine to five.
