Backseat Love Letters

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You used to leave me Backseat love letters Folded in my faded coat Smelled like smoke and sweet perfume Scribbled hearts And crooked jokes We shared french fries On a payday Friday You'd steal cherries from my glass Said "Girl I'm broke but I'm all in" We laughed so loud The night drove past [Chorus] What happened to those backseat love letters Kissing in a crowded parking lot Windows fogged and the world got better Every time you said what I was not You called me sugar Angel Trouble Swore that you would never let me go What happened to those backseat love letters 'Cause lately Baby All I get is cold [Verse 2] You come home late With your tie half-open Drop your keys You drop your eyes You talk in circles 'Bout your long Long hours But your shirt smells like alibis My lipstick rolled Underneath the dresser Next to one that isn't mine (mm-hmm) You say I'm crazy Say I'm overthinking But your silence Speaks every line [Chorus] What happened to those backseat love letters Kissing in a crowded parking lot Windows fogged and the world got better Every time you said what I was not You called me sugar Angel Trouble Swore that you would never let me go What happened to those backseat love letters 'Cause lately Baby All I get is cold [Bridge] [Band drops to bass Snaps And organ] Maybe I kept 'em In a shoebox Underneath the winter coats Every promise Every nickname Every stubborn Hopeful note [Band swells back in] I'm pulling out those backseat love letters (yeah) Reading 'til the ink runs down If you can't love me Like you wrote me I'll drive myself Right out of this town (hey!) [Chorus] What happened to those backseat love letters Kissing in a crowded parking lot Windows fogged and the world got better Every time you said what I was not You called me sugar Angel Trouble Swore that you would never let me go So keep your half-hearted Late-night answers I got my suitcase and my soul I'm mailing back your backseat love letters Return to sender Baby I'm gone (I'm gone)
