Remember when I picked you up when school let out last fall? We'd drive out where the houses ended Trees lined all the roads The leaves were changing color As that autumn wind blew through my hair The days were all so short that time of year I didn't mind that much Neither did you And when the sun set, we'd pull off the road and park Turn off the headlights and climb onto the hood The storms were clear and burned bright in that dark blue sky We kept each other warm on that cool night I thought things would be permanent, permanent I thought things would be permanent, permanent I thought things would be permanent, permanent I thought things would be permanent, permanent
