Dashboard Confessions

You pick me up

Windows halfway down

Straw in your drink

Feet on the dash

We miss the turn

But we keep on going

Laughing while the red lights flash

You say

"Where to?"

I say

"Right here"

Past all the exits

You pull me near

In love while driving around

Nowhere to be

But we’re lost and found

Singing too loud to a song we don’t know

One hand on the wheel

The other won’t let go

In love while driving around

Heart in the glovebox

Playing it loud

If this is wrong

I don’t want the route home

Let the headlights write us a poem

Your old hoodie on in the middle of June

Air freshener swinging to the bass

You tap the brake just to steal a kiss

Car filling up with my favorite face

You say

"Slow down"

I say

"Not yet"

Speeding through the small talk

Best risk I’ve met

[low vocal register] Let the fuel run low

Let the night run long

If the engine ever quiets

We’ll finish the song [crescendo]

’Cause every wrong turn

Leads back to you

Every green light

Feels brand new
