Lying

(album: People Watching - 2016)

We weren't supposed to be there
Parked on the beach where
Sand felt more like an hourglass
We were both pretending summer wouldn't end
If we stayed there right on the front of that Pontiac
Kicking back, driver's side window cracked with the radio up

Just the two of us

Lying on the hood of my car under the stars
Falling as hard as they were
Didn't know we didn't mean it
Swore we believed it, took it too far
She said forever, I said I'll never
Let her out of these arms
But the truth is we were just lying
Lying on the hood of my car

I can still remember
Bare feet on the fender
Salt waves in her hair from the water
The engine wasn't running
But it heated up
When she tossed that tank top off of that Pontiac
Breathing fast, hearts beating over that radio all the way up

Knowing we're just

Lying on the hood of my car under the stars
Falling as hard as they were
Didn't know we didn't mean it
Swore we believed it, took it too far
She said forever, I said I'll never
Let her out of these arms
But the truth is we were just lying
Lying on the hood of my car

Lying on the hood of my car

Had that back seat packed up with all my stuff
When we promised that we'd keep in touch
It turns out we were just...

Lying on the hood of my car under the stars
Falling as hard as they were
Didn't know we didn't mean it
Swore we believed it, took it too far
She said forever, I said I'll never
Let her out of these arms
But the truth is we were just lying
Lying on the hood of my car

Lying on the hood of my car

She said forever, I said I'll never...

Lying on the hood of my car
