Backseat to the Sun

[Verse 1]
You left your sweater
On my kitchen chair
Smells like salt and summer
Like you’re still there
I wash the dishes slow
Just to take my time
Let the quiet ask me
Where you draw the line
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna grow up
If it means losing you
I don’t wanna wake up
To a life that feels this used
If we’re only one breath
From coming all undone
Then I’ll ride in the backseat to the sun
If it brings you home
Yeah
I’ll ride in the backseat to the sun
[Verse 2]
I keep your message
Starred at 2 a.m
Every broken sentence
Hits me again
You said “I’m sorry
I just need some space”
But all these empty corners
Still know your face
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna grow up
If it means losing you
I don’t wanna wake up
To a life that feels this used
If we’re only one breath
From coming all undone
Then I’ll ride in the backseat to the sun
If it brings you home
Yeah
I’ll ride in the backseat to the sun
[Bridge]
Maybe I was holding on too tight (too tight)
Maybe you were tired of that fight (that fight)
But if there’s a road that leads you back to me
I’ll leave the door unlocked
Leave your seat left free (oh)
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna grow up
If it means losing you
I don’t wanna wake up
From a world that held us true
If we’re only one breath
From coming all undone
Then I’ll ride in the backseat to the sun
If it brings you home
Yeah
I’ll ride in the backseat to the sun
