Backseat Daydream

[Verse 1]
You trace your name
In the fogged-up glass
Traffic crawling
But we’re moving fast
Half-finished coffee
On the dash between our knees
You say you hate this town
But you love nights like these
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
Head on my shoulder
Windows cracked
As the night gets colder
If this is nothing
Why does it feel like everything
Backseat daydream
Please don’t let the morning in
[Verse 2]
You talk in circles
’Bout the job you’ll leave
I fake a fortune
In your folded sleeve
You laugh so loud
That the driver checks the mirror
I memorize the sound
In case you’re not here later
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
Head on my shoulder
Windows cracked
As the night gets colder
If this is nothing
Why does it feel like everything
Backseat daydream
Please don’t let the morning in
[Bridge]
What if we stay right here
Let the red lights turn to stars
Let the small talk disappear
Just your hand in my heart
If we never get back home
I could live inside this scene
You and me
And a backseat daydream
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
Head on my shoulder
Windows cracked
As the night gets colder
If this is nothing
Why does it feel like everything
Backseat daydream
Please don’t let the morning in
