I remember riding in your car without a seat belt
I remember the words I tried to say that wouldn’t come out
When after the show the streets filled with kids
All waiting to get inside
And the last bus left ten minutes ago
So I asked you for a ride

[Chorus]
And we were lighter than the air
In the back of your car that blew around my hair
And we were lighter than the air
And the words you sang wrong, I tried to tell you not to care
It’s not the point to get it right the first time

The streetlight on the corner near my house, it clocked out early
I walked across my front lawn in the dark, and the spare key was missing
And inside the car you answered your phone
And fiddled with the radio
And on the front porch, I turned around
And I waved

[Chorus]

I remember everything about that winter
Our days were unhinged like your bedroom door
When I told you that you needed to be honest
But you just stared at the crack on the floor
‘Cause you can’t give me the things that I want

[Chorus]
It’s not the point to get it right, growing up takes a couple tries
It’s not the point to get it right the first time
