"Red Station Wagon" lyrics

I can still see that red station wagon on the street by your house
We'd walk to rent movies and wander our way across town
Out away from your dad you were always so easily found
You'd let your hands dance and you'd let yourself laugh out loud

Hey, I remember
Oh-oh

That night on the roof of the school when we were talking at stars
And you said that you might be afraid of who you really are
And your hand touched my hand and retreated in that desperate dark
And I called you a faggot and laughed and punched you in the arm

I don't believe it
I can't believe it now
I can't believe how I let you down

The church was a boot on your neck since the day you were born
They didn't like the way that you talk or how you move in the world
How you glide like a leaf on the water, all gentle and kind
Ah, the world wants a man who is hard not hard to define

And you feel like a child that the God of all forgot to name
Like he gave you a heart but He did not give you a place
Did He breathe into you just to tell you that you are to blame?
Did He breathe into you just to tell you that you are to blame?

I don't believe it
I don't believe it now
I don't believe how I let you down

Did He breathe into you just to tell you that you are to blame?
Did He breathe into you just to tell you that you are to blame?

I don't believe it
I don't believe it now

I don't believe it
I don't believe it now

I don't believe it
I don't believe it now
