Backseat Dreams and Dashboard Stars

We rolled out where the pavement shines

Somewhere in the rearview, gold lines and white signs

Open windows, letting the dust come in

Laughing like we used to where the miles begin

The radio crackles, the map fades away

Every little town looks softer this way

And I feel that tremble

In the spaces we make

Like a heart can remember

Even as it changes shape

So keep your windows open

Let the night wind sing

We're not losing anything

By becoming something

And if the road keeps calling

We can still belong

Growing up is just learning

How to hold on

Hold on

Hold on to the summer in our song

Your hand on the wheel, my feet on the dash

Ghosts of old cheap dreams in a flickering flash

We talk about tomorrow like it's already near

But the spark in the silence still feels clear

Streetlights bloom like fireflies and rose

Every last goodbye is a seed that grows

And the farther we travel, the more I can see

That the best parts of us don't ever leave

So keep the windows open, let the night wind sing

We're not losing anything by becoming something

And if the road keeps calling, we can still belong

Growing up is just learning how to hold on

Hold on, hold on

To the summer in our song

We'll take the long way home through the fading blue

With the sky on the hood and the truth in view

No, the years don't erase what the miles have made

They just turn the bright days into a shade that stays

So keep the windows open, let the night rinse in

We're not losing anything by becoming something

And if the road keeps calling, we can still belong

Growing up is just learning how to hold on

Hold on

Hold on

Could the summer end our song?
