	Story Behind the Song This is another relationship song, sorta. The first verse is about the feeling of new love, inspired by Tony and his car(his '63 Ford Falcon). I wrote this song in Golden Gate park one day in the freezing cold of a San Francisco summer. And the chorus is about the harsh reality of falling in love too quickly. There are two references to other songs in this song. The first song reference is about the surfers singing: "Up on the Sun" which of course is a great tune by the 'Meat Puppets'. The second song reference is about the homeless on Market Street singing: "Together Alone" which is a reference to a song and album by 'Crowded House'. Lyrics Leaving city streets for the open air Down Geary Blvd with fog in our hair Ocean Beach and surfers singing: "Up on the Sun" In a '63 Ford Falcon lookin' for some fun Our paths crossed on the 4th of July We had our own fireworks inside The mercury dropped and our tans faded 'way You wanted to leave, I wanted to stay Hey, Ho I didn't know I held on tight when I should've let go You didn't want me, you didn't and you never said so It was only obvious I didn't know I didn't know I didn't know San Francisco in summer is a cold place to be The sun shines on Mission but never on me Market Street and homeless sing: "Together Alone" And I don't hear the music waiting for your phone Our paths crossed on the 4th of July We had our own fireworks inside The mercury dropped and our tans faded 'way You wanted to leave, I wanted to stay Hey, Ho I didn't know I held on tight I should've let go You didn't want me, you didn't and you never said so It was only obvious I didn't know Hey, Ho I didn't know I held on tight I should've let go You didn't want me, you didn't and you never said so It was only obvious I didn't know Hey, Ho I didn't know Hey, Ho I didn't know Hey, Ho I didn't know Lyrics, John Threet
