Pontiac Hatchback
Song by Michael Shynes
It started out slow
Saw you through the window
We always ended up in the same places
I talked too fast but you helped me relax
Held the picture out so I could trace it
You told me you can be yourself
Please stop trying to impress me
That was the sweetest thing I’d ever heard
As the night progressed
I became more adept
To recognizing I’m at homeostasis
When you’re around
Its like my hands warm up
And all they want to do is turn your pages
You told me you can be yourself boy
‘Cause you already got me
That was the sweetest thing I’d ever heard
Then the seats went back in that Pontiac hatchback
When the seats went back in that Pontiac hatchback
Life would never be the same
When a slice of moonlight draws a faint outline of a lion that you want to tame
You only get one chance to feel that for the first time
One chance but you can’t wait 'til next time
One dance shadows in the dash lights
One chance
One dance
Saw you through the window
We always ended up in the same places
I talked too fast but you helped me relax
Held the picture out so I could trace it
You told me you can be yourself
Please stop trying to impress me
That was the sweetest thing I’d ever heard
As the night progressed
I became more adept
To recognizing I’m at homeostasis
When you’re around
Its like my hands warm up
And all they want to do is turn your pages
You told me you can be yourself boy
‘Cause you already got me
That was the sweetest thing I’d ever heard
Then the seats went back in that Pontiac hatchback
When the seats went back in that Pontiac hatchback
Life would never be the same
When a slice of moonlight draws a faint outline of a lion that you want to tame
You only get one chance to feel that for the first time
One chance but you can’t wait 'til next time
One dance shadows in the dash lights
One chance
One dance
