Backseat Promises

[Verse 1]

You showed up late in that ride

Windows stuck but we didn't mind

Our hoodie smelled like smoke and rain

We kissed once then did it again

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know we said we'd move on

But I keep findin' you in every song

Those nights we swore would never fade

They echo back to me like a sweet cascade

[Chorus]

We said forever, but never meant it

Now I drive through towns we invented

The nights stay cold, nothing dismisses

What we were, backseat promises

[Verse 2]

Found your note in my winter coat

Soft and worn, like something remote

A quiet line that carried your breath

I folded it twice, left it in the street

[Pre-Chorus]

And I know we said we'd move on

But I keep findin' you in every song

Those nights we swore would never fade

They echo back to me like a sweet cascade

[Chorus]

We said forever, but never meant it

Now I drive through towns we invented

The nights stay cold, nothing dismisses

What we were, backseat promises

[Post-Chorus]

Backseat promises

Backseat promises

[Bridge]

I pass that street, but never slow

Some things fade, but never go

I pass that street but never slow

Some things fade but never go

[Chorus]

I still go back, though there's no reason (Oh, oh)

Trace your name in every season

The roads moved on, but I still miss us

Can't outrun those backseat promises

[Post-Chorus]

(Oh-oh) Backseat promises

(Oh-oh) Backseat promises

Yeah, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh, oh-oh

[Outro]

Oh

Oh-oh-oh, oh, oh-oh

Oh-oh
