Backseat Promise

Two headlights cutting through a midnight storm

Left my keys on the dash, thinking what went wrong

Your faded sweatshirt’s riding shotgun by my side

Cigarette traces still linger from our fight last night

Satellite radio plays an old love tune

I roll down the window, staring at the moon

Sleeping in my car but I ain’t driving away

Heard every word you said, I'll face them come what may

This bench seat’s cold, but my heart’s still warm for you

I’ll keep holding on, I’ll never give up on us two

Sunrise paints gold on the rearview glass

Coffee from a drive-thru, watching futures in the past

Your picture flutters down from the visor overhead

Can’t erase your smile from running through my head

Engine off but hope keeps running strong

I text "I love you," not sure if it’s wrong

Sleeping in my car but I ain’t driving away

Heard every word you said, I'll face them come what may

This bench seat’s cold, but my heart’s still warm for you

I’ll keep holding on, I’ll never give up on us two

Sometimes pride gets tangled up in what we say

But I’d trade every mile, just to feel you stay

Starry nights in parking lots, where I find my truth

My love won’t stall, I’ll keep fighting for you

Sleeping in my car but I ain’t driving away

Heard every word you said, I'll face them come what may

This bench seat’s cold, but my heart’s still warm for you

I’ll keep holding on, I’ll never give up on us twoSo I'll turn the key when the night is through

Backseat promise—I’ll come home to you
