Back of a Car Lyrics
Sitting in the back of a car
Music so loud, can't tell a thing
Thinkin' 'bout what to say
And I can't find the lines
Know I love you alot
I just don't know, should I or not
Waiting for a brighter day
And I can't find the way
I'll go on and on with you
Like to fall and lie with you
I'd love you too
Baby, I'm too afraid
I just don't know if it's ok
Trying to get away
From everything
Why don't you take me home
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone
Music so loud, can't tell a thing
Thinkin' 'bout what to say
And I can't find the lines
I just don't know, should I or not
Waiting for a brighter day
And I can't find the way
Like to fall and lie with you
I'd love you too
I just don't know if it's ok
Trying to get away
From everything
It's gone too far inside this car
I know I'll feel a whole lot more
When I get alone

My Guess.. this about a young guy fumbling with an older chick in the back of her car, but wondering if he should go all the way. Its about that cusp of adolescence thing between childhood and adulthood. Sht hot song, Sht hot band.
Great song about adolescence. One of the better power pop songs of all time. I love the crunching Chilton guitar work here as well
To my ears the lyric sounds more like " I love you too, oh what a world" even though the last half isn't included here and other lyric sites write it as "whoa whoa whoa"... Just a personal take.
