Backseat Battle Cry

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You said "Relax It’s not that deep" But my heart’s in your glovebox Ticket stubs and cherry gum All the things that we once lost Shoelace frayed on my old Vans Kicked your fence and climbed the side You were laughing from your window I was drunk on your green eyes (yeah) [Chorus] This is our backseat battle cry Screaming at the suburbs flying by Every wrong turn Every dumb fight Still I’m riding if it’s your drive This is our late-night alibi Blaming it on songs that made us wild If it all burns out tonight Let it be our backseat battle cry [Verse 2] Your mom said I’m “too intense” Tattoo plans on grocery lists You drew hearts on paper plates I just hoped that one would stick You said "Dream big But not too far" Then you circled the state line Now the map’s on your dashboard And my name’s in every side note (hey) [Chorus] This is our backseat battle cry Screaming at the suburbs flying by Every wrong turn Every dumb fight Still I’m riding if it’s your drive This is our late-night alibi Blaming it on songs that made us wild If it all burns out tonight Let it be our backseat battle cry [Bridge] Windows down Throat is shot Say you’re scared I say I’m not But if you bail At the next light I’ll still shout your name Into the night (woah) [Chorus] This is our backseat battle cry Screaming at the suburbs flying by Every wrong turn Every dumb fight Still I’m riding if it’s your drive This is our late-night alibi Blaming it on songs that made us wild If it all burns out tonight Let it be our backseat battle cry
