Note On A Windshield Lyrics - The Things That We Are Made Of - Mary Chapin Carpenter

I circled twice then pulled in by the shopping carts 

In a cold steady rain coming down in the parking lot 

I saw him leave his truck running and duck into the store 

I just sat there thinking I'd seen him before 

There was something so familiar about him 

In the eyes of someone who hasn't forgotten 

The shape of a chance as it catches the light 

In the millions of rain drops falling that night 

So I dug in my bag for a pen and some paper 

Found an envelope, tore it in half 

I wrote down some words with my name and my number 

And then I took a big breath 

There's nothing holding us down 

I'm not made of stone or of steel 

I slipped it beneath the wiper blades 

Just a note on a windshield

When you find yourself out of things to believe in 

Apart and adrift, no point and no reason 

Is there nothing to fear because there's nothing to lose? 

If it were a choice which one would you choose? 

There's time you can trust and time that you question 

Time you ignore and time you don't mention 

Time that you wish you could get back somehow 

When see you how fast its flying by now 

There's nothing holding us down 

I'm not made of stone or of steel 

Will the wind blow you away 

Like a note on a windshield 

There's nothing holding us down 

And no words for the way that you feel 

You just watch the rain pour 

On a note on a windshield 

Photos 

Some days I still think I could be someone else 

Those are the days I feel lost to myself 

Mistaking a stranger, misplacing a heart 

How to put back together what's been taken apart 

I didn't want to leave but I didn't want to linger 

Fatalist, optimist, magical thinker 

You only hold on until you let go 

Turning the key, I pulled away slow 

There's nothing holding us down 

As my hands were turning the wheel 

The rain washed words away 

From a note on a windshield 

There's nothing holding us down 

When there's nothing left to reveal 

We are light, we are weightless and brave Like a note on a windshield
