That Blue Car In The Rain

Third red light on riverside Rain is running down the glass Wipers moving like a heartbeat On an empty stretch of road Then i saw that shade of blue Through the water and the rain For a second i forgot How many years had gone It was probably somebody else's Just another car downtown But my hands tightened on the steering wheel When i watched it coming around Funny how a little color Can bring back a summer night The old songs inside the speakers Your hand reaching over mine I couldn't see the driver clearly Couldn't tell if it was you But my mind started filling in the blanks The way memories do I don't even know if it was you Just a blue car in the rain But for a couple traffic lights I was seventeen again Same old road, same old radio Same voice calling my name I don't even know if it was you Just a blue car in the rain The light turned green, it kept on moving Past the corner by the park And i stayed there a little longer Listening to the dark I thought i left those days behind me Thought i'd packed them all away But one familiar silhouette Can bring them back in seconds Maybe it wasn't you driving Maybe it was just that night Bringing back a version of me I haven't seen in quite some time I don't even know if it was you Just a blue car in the rain But for a couple traffic lights I was seventeen again Same old road, same old radio Same voice calling my name I don't even know if it was you Just a blue car in the rain Maybe you were miles away Maybe you were somewhere new Maybe someone else was driving That same old shade of blue But for one small moment Before the traffic changed I remembered who i used to be Before everything changed I don't even know if it was you Just a blue car in the rain But for a couple traffic lights I had my whole world back again Not because i need you Not because i miss the pain Sometimes yesterday comes looking for you In a blue car through the rain I don't even know if it was you Just a blue car in the rain Third red light on riverside Rain is running down the glass Just a flash of blue disappearing Before the light turned green
