I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter
When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
For all time
For all time
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter
When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
For all time
For all time

It does sound to me like a young boy talking about a car ride with his mother. The way he is relaxed on the dash, wondering about the vast workings of the universe while smelling the deep earthly scents of the pines and firs surrounding him make him seem innocent and young. He seems like he has the common defense-of-mother mentality in the end, knowing he will always be there for her. I personally love this song, and if someone can get me some sheet music, it would be wonderful.
