Backseat Hallelujah

[Chorus]

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Turned that goodbye to a hallelujah

Took all my “stay” and made it past tense

Now I’m finally driving somewhere newer

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Waved as you walked out of my future

Guess losing you was winning back me

Backseat hallelujah

[Verse 1]

Used to count the coffee rings

On your side of the table

Tiny proof of bigger things

I thought we were stable

You were halfway out the door

While I was praying for a sign

Didn’t know that losing you

Would give me back my life

[Pre-Chorus]

I cried through the quiet nights

Begged every why to make it right

But every tear that hit that floor

Pushed me closer to the door (yeah)

[Chorus]

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Turned that goodbye to a hallelujah

Took all my “stay” and made it past tense

Now I’m finally driving somewhere newer

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Waved as you walked out of my future

Guess losing you was winning back me

Backseat hallelujah

[Verse 2]

Now I’m dancing doing dishes

Singing off key in the mirror (oh yeah)

All the little buried wishes

Getting louder

Coming clearer

Your old sweater on the chair

Doesn’t feel like it’s mine to keep

Fold it

Drop it in the box

Leave it waiting by the street

[Pre-Chorus]

Your ghost doesn’t scare me now

I say your name and I just smile

Every mile between us two

Feels like grace in disguise

[Chorus]

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Turned that goodbye to a hallelujah

Took all my “stay” and made it past tense

Now I’m finally driving somewhere newer

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Waved as you walked out of my future

Guess losing you was winning back me

Backseat hallelujah

[Bridge]

Hands on the wheel

I’m wide awake

All of this love

I aim it my way

Thought I was broken

Now I see

You were just the sermon

I was the belief

[Chorus]

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Turned that goodbye to a hallelujah

Took all my “stay” and made it past tense

Now I’m finally driving somewhere newer

You put my heartbreak in the backseat (backseat)

Waved as you walked out of my future

Guess losing you was winning back me

Backseat hallelujah
