Kiss Me in the Backseat

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You parked where the grocery sign flickered blue Your jacket on my knees, smelling like you The radio low, but I knew every word You turned down the volume before you turned Your hand found mine by the buckle release A tiny red light, a whole lot of heat I said, “We should go,” but I stayed in place You smiled like trouble and leaned to my face [Pre-Chorus] The windows fogged at the corners Your heartbeat keeping time One little inch getting smaller Your eyes asking mine [Chorus] Kiss me in the backseat, don’t make it sweet Leave the night outside and pull me close to the beat Kiss me in the backseat, no one has to know We can take the long way, let the headlights roll You say my name, I lose my way Right there in the backseat, make me stay [Verse 2] The coffee went cold in the cup by the brake You drew a little heart in the dust by mistake My phone lit up twice, I let it ring There are better places for everything Your laugh hit soft like a spark in the dark I traced the seam of your sleeve with my arm The whole world waited beyond that door But I wanted one minute, then one minute more [Pre-Chorus] The windows fogged at the corners Your heartbeat keeping time One little inch getting smaller Your eyes asking mine [Chorus] Kiss me in the backseat, don’t make it sweet Leave the night outside and pull me close to the beat Kiss me in the backseat, no one has to know We can take the long way, let the headlights roll You say my name, I lose my way Right there in the backseat, make me stay [Bridge] If morning finds us laughing With your keys still in your hand I’ll call it perfect timing You’ll call it poorly planned No map, no destination Just your shoulder next to mine The world can keep on waiting We’ve got nowhere tonight [Final Chorus] Kiss me in the backseat, don’t make it sweet Leave the night outside and pull me close to the beat Kiss me in the backseat, no one has to know We can take the long way, let the headlights roll You say my name, I lose my way Right there in the backseat, make me stay Kiss me in the backseat, stay a little late Right there in the backseat, make me stay [Outro] Make me stay In the backseat
