Backseat Hallelujah

[Intro]

Headlights on your cheekbones

Silhouette in my coat

You laughing at my love songs

Like you already know

[Verse 1]

Knee on the dashboard

Lipstick on your straw

You say you don’t do drama

But you love a little flaw

Records in the rearview

Humming something sweet

You say

“Don’t make this serious”

Then you’re sliding to my seat

[Chorus]

You’re my backseat hallelujah

Sunday in the middle of the week

Got my hands up

Singing to ya

Every time you’re tangled in my seat

You turn my quiet into choirs

Snap my heart right on the two and four

My backseat hallelujah

I just keep coming back for more (oh yeah)

[Verse 2]

Phone face down

Screen lit

We both know who that is

You say

“I should probably answer”

Then you lean in for a kiss

Cherry on your tongue tip

Trouble in your eyes

You say

“Baby

Don’t you save me”

But you’re praying in my sighs

[Chorus]

You’re my backseat hallelujah

Sunday in the middle of the week

Got my hands up

Singing to ya

Every time you’re tangled in my seat

You turn my quiet into choirs

Snap my heart right on the two and four

My backseat hallelujah

I just keep coming back for more (hallelujah)

[Bridge]

Tell me this is wrong

I’ll believe you

Tell me this is wrong

I’ll believe you

Tell me you’ll be gone

I’ll pretend

But every time the taillights fade

We’re starting over again

Starting over again (again)

[Chorus]

You’re my backseat hallelujah

Sunday in the middle of the week

Got my hands up

Singing to ya

Every time you’re tangled in my seat

You turn my quiet into choirs

Snap my heart right on the two and four

My backseat hallelujah

I just keep coming back for more

Yeah

My backseat hallelujah

’Til my front door’s what you’re praying for
