(Music & Lyrics: Ackerson)
Two kids kissing in the back seat, by a back road bridge over Butternut Creek
We’d pull off there, so dark and discreet, to hide
The hot revenge of the reprimand, was the way I felt when I held your hand
Lying there, we made our stand, and we closed our eyes
You were mine that night
Everything was right
For the first time in our lives
There was no one watching us
The fogged-up windows a testament, to the words we said and the things we meant
In the space that hovers around intent, we made our vow
Whatever the cost of the blessed burn, as we lay there quietly taking turns
Nothing short of a lesson learned could stop us now
You were mine that night
Everything was right
For the first time in our lives
There was no one watching us
Panic woke me from sleep, you told me later that I screamed
But I swear I heard a tapping on the door
Then I remember all the light, something tearing me inside
Sudden fear like I had never felt before
Stepped out of the back and held up our hands, to five cop cars and an unmarked van
But they knew we didn’t understand, and they said, “You’re free to go
But under this bridge, a girl just died, ‘cause we found a bag with a body inside
And we think the killer was here tonight, you’re luckier than you know”
There was no one watching us
