Lyrics
[Verse 1] Your red coat on my seat Still smells like last July Coin laundry in the back And your hand on my thigh We crossed the bridge in silence Past the gas and river lights You said, "Don't let this end yet" Like you knew the whole night [Pre-Chorus] And the dash kept glowing blue Like it knew my name You looked at me once And I felt the change The sky fell open Right before we turned I held that moment Till my chest still burned [Chorus] Backseat moon, stay on me Backseat moon, don't leave Backseat moon, I can see What you meant to me Backseat moon, hold me close Backseat moon, don't fade I was yours in the chrome In the midnight haze [Verse 2] Your soda can was sweating On the cracked old map I kept driving in circles 'Cause I wanted you back Your laugh hit the window Like a spark in rain I should've said the right thing But I froze in the lane [Pre-Chorus] And the dash kept glowing blue Like it knew my name You looked at me once And I felt the change The sky fell open Right before we turned I held that moment Till my chest still burned [Chorus] Backseat moon, stay on me Backseat moon, don't leave Backseat moon, I can see What you meant to me Backseat moon, hold me close Backseat moon, don't fade I was yours in the chrome In the midnight haze [Bridge] If I call now, would you answer? Would you break that careful line? I still hear your silence Like a bell inside Maybe time is just a street sign And we missed the turn But I keep that warm ache Like a engine's burn [Final Chorus] Backseat moon, stay on me Backseat moon, don't leave Backseat moon, I can see What you meant to me Backseat moon, hold me close Backseat moon, don't fade I was yours in the chrome In the midnight haze Backseat moon, stay on me Backseat moon, don't leave
