What Were They Doing

Songtext

[Intro] Jane and Joe, one ride, one secret Nobody saw the beginning Everybody heard the ending [Verse 1] Met by the corner where the late bus sighed Two strangers laughing with nowhere to hide She had a red scarf, he had keys in his hand One little favor turned into a plan Back of the van, curtains pulled down low Time moved quick but they took it slow A knock on the panel, then a sudden light Somebody opened up the door that night [Pre-Chorus] They froze like kids with a question to answer No one could tell who had started the laughter [Chorus] What were they doing in the back of the van? Nobody knows, but the rumor still ran Jane looked away, Joe just smiled real slow First time they met, and they already had a secret to hold What were they doing? Say it if you can Nobody knows, but they both understand One ride, one night, one story they won't show First time they met, now the whole town wants to know [Verse 2] Driver said, “Folks, is everything okay?” Joe fixed his collar, Jane tucked her hair away A paper cup rolled underneath the seat Two nervous hearts trying hard not to speak They claimed they were searching for a lost phone But the phone was glowing in Jane’s coat alone He said, “Nice to meet you,” she said, “Likewise” Both of them laughing with guilty eyes [Pre-Chorus] They froze like kids with a question to answer No one could tell who had started the laughter [Chorus] What were they doing in the back of the van? Nobody knows, but the rumor still ran Jane looked away, Joe just smiled real slow First time they met, and they already had a secret to hold What were they doing? Say it if you can Nobody knows, but they both understand One ride, one night, one story they won't show First time they met, now the whole town wants to know [Bridge] Maybe it was talking, maybe something more Maybe they were dancing on a wooden floor Maybe every answer makes the mystery fade So let them keep the secret that they made [Final Chorus] What were they doing in the back of the van? Nobody knows, and nobody has a plan Jane took Joe’s hand, then they walked out slow First time they met, but they left like they’d known What were they doing? Say it if you can Nobody knows, but the rumor still ran One ride, one night, one story they won't show Jane and Joe got caught, now the whole town wants to know [Outro] What were they doing? No one knows Jane and Joe That’s how the story goes
