When I was young everything that they told me was wrong
The only kind of magic's when the radio's on
I never knew the words but I had to sing along
In this cosmic backseat education
All the girls in the bleachers with their magazine eyes
The boys in the basement when the cops roll by
If you think you know just who you are it's probably all a lie
In this cosmic backseat education
In the backseat of a Chevy, yeah, she taught me how to breathe
Our love was like a tightrope and to fall was to believe
She tied me up in knots and all I did was make her sneeze
In this cosmic backseat education
When you're young everything that they tell you seems strange
Your feet are like the ocean and your mind is the cage
You can capture every instant, live your life like it's a stage
In this cosmic backseat education
When I was young everything that they told me was wrong
The only kind of magic's when the radio's on
I never knew the words but I had to sing along
It's a cosmic backseat education
A cosmic backseat education
A cosmic backseat education
