John Newhall - Conversations in a Parked Car Lyrics

Conversations in a parked car
Cold air, red face, moonlight everywhere
Thinking of what it is that I'll say next
Brain's always choking' 'specially when I'm next to you

Six inches away
Stupid seat dividers getting in my way
It's the only thing stopping me from touching your skin
A subtle reminder of how long it's been

I was all battered and bruised
She was cookie cutter perfect with enough to prove
I guess that's why we fell in love

Believe me it could happen to you
Had no intention but next thing I knew
I was looking at you feeling like I have in the past
Staring at the shadows on your face from the light of the dash
Darling it's the way that I feel
Heart starts to skip when I'm behind the wheel
Right now your heart is all I know
You said "I wish we never had to go home"

Conversations in a parked car
Long nights, first kiss
It was just about 8:52 on a Thursday night
Sure wasn't well executed but it sure felt right

And I smiled as I drove away
I knew the feeling would not stay forever
But I figured you may

You're the only love that I know
I made sure all of our talks went slow
Who knew that we'd fall in love

Believe me it could happen to you
Had no intention but next thing I knew
I was looking at you feeling like I have in the past
Staring at the shadows on your face from the light of the dash
Darling it's the way that I feel
Heart starts to skip when I'm behind the wheel
Right now your heart is all I know
You said "I wish we never had to go home"

I was all battered and bruised
She was cookie cutter perfect with enough to prove
I guess that's why we fell in love

Believe me it could happen to you
Had no intention but next thing I knew
I was looking at you feeling like I have in the past
Staring at the shadows on your face from the light of the dash
Darling it's the way that I feel
Heart starts to skip when I'm behind the wheel
Right now your heart is all I know
You said "I wish we never had to go home"

Conversations in a parked car
I was only 17 with a dream
Still just a kid unaware how harsh
The world will bring you together
And then tear you apart
