about

"Thankfully, the only mildly pandemic-related song on the album. This one was the result of a new love interest, and because everything was closed, I had to get creative to impress. It reminded me of being a queer kid in high school, having to go on dates just cruising around because we were usually hiding from someone. It was nice to reclaim that feeling of freedom and joy, now in my thirties; and not feeling the need to hide from anyone."

lyrics

In the town where I was born
Right across from that old church
Used to keep my eye on Mary
While she’d shine behind the birds

Now the moon is in her window
And the glow has hit you right
Like a cigarette stuck in my pocket
Waiting for a chance to light

When the lights come on
And the sun goes down
I’m gonna lay you down
In the backseat of whatever I’m driving
Driving around

Up ahead is the old skate park
Where i used to run around
Couldn’t ride for shit to save my life
I’d pretend if you were around

Now the dogs are getting called to
And the kids are running up the drive
Honey we got nowhere else to be
At least not for tonight

Cause when the lights come on
And the sun goes down
I’m gonna lay you down
In the backseat of whatever we’re driving
Driving around

Call me old fashioned
But how did I never think of this until now
This house is all we’ve seen for days and days
Why don’t we go and drive around

Cause when the lights come on
As the sun goes down
I’m gonna lay you down
In the backseat of whatever we’re driving
Driving around
