Mary Chapin Carpenter - Note On A Windshield lyrics

I circled twice then pulled in by the shopping carts In a cold steady rain coming down in the parking lot I saw him leave his truck running and duck into the store I just sat there thinking Id seen him before There was something so familiar about him In the eyes of someone who hasnt forgotten The shape of a chance as it catches the light In the millions of rain drops falling that night So I dug in my bag for a pen and some paper Found an envelope, tore it in half I wrote down some words with my name and my number And then I took a big breath Theres nothing holding us down Im not made of stone or of steel I slipped it beneath the wiper blades Just a note on a windshield When you find yourself out of things to believe in Apart and adrift, no point and no reason Is there nothing to fear because theres nothing to lose? If it were a choice which one would you choose? Theres time you can trust and time that you question Time you ignore and time you dont mention Time that you wish you could get back somehow When see you how fast its flying by now Theres nothing holding us down Im not made of stone or of steel Will the wind blow you away Like a note on a windshield Theres nothing holding us down And no words for the way that you feel You just watch the rain pour On a note on a windshield Some days I still think I could be someone else Those are the days I feel lost to myself Mistaking a stranger, misplacing a heart How to put back together whats been taken apart I didnt want to leave but I didnt want to linger Fatalist, optimist, magical thinker You only hold on until you let go Turning the key, I pulled away slow Theres nothing holding us down As my hands were turning the wheel The rain washed words away From a note on a windshield Theres nothing holding us down When theres nothing left to reveal We are light, we are weightless and brave Like a note on a windshield
