Backseat Promises

You showed up late in that ride,
Windows stuck  but we didn’t mind.
Our hoodie smelled like smoke and rain
We kissed once then did it again.
And I know we said we’d move on,
But I keep findin’ you in every song.
Those nights we swore would never fade—
They echo back to me like a sweet cascade.
We said forever, but never meant it.
Now I drive through towns we invented.
The nights stay cold, nothing dismisses
What we were - backseat promises.
Found your note in my winter coat,
Soft and worn, like something remote.
A quiet line that carried your breath—
I folded it twice, left it in the street.
And I know we said we’d move on,
But I keep findin’ you in every song.
Those nights we swore would never fade—
They echo back to me like a sweet cascade.
We said forever, but never meant it.
Now I drive through towns we invented.
The nights stay cold, nothing dismisses
What we were - backseat promises

I pass that street, but never slow
Some things fade, but never go
i pass that street but never slow
some things fade but (and) never go
I still go back, though there’s no reason.
Trace your name in every season.
The roads moved on, but I still miss us.
Can’t outrun those backseat promises
