Backseat Skyline

Verse 1

City’s breathing slow under neon haze

I’m just tryna lose the weight of the day

Fingers on the wheel, but my mind’s out the door

Chasing that feeling I ain’t felt before

Half a tank, no plan, just the hum of the lane

Phone lighting up but I let it fade

Don’t need a reason, I’m past all that

Just need the bass to keep my heart intact

⸻

Chorus

Backseat skyline, you’re in my head again

Smoke in the air and your silhouette’s settling in

Every mile’s got me closer to something I can’t name

But damn if the night don’t know my name

⸻

Verse 2

Leather seats warm, windows down low

Your perfume still clings from years ago

Guess I’m haunted by more than mistakes

It’s the way you’d breathe when the ground would shake

I’ve been speeding through years like I’m chasing ghosts

Lost a lot, but you’re the one I miss most

Can’t turn back, but I slow for the light

Just to feel you in the passenger seat tonight

⸻

Bridge

Bittersweet in the way you still burn in my veins

Every curve in the road feels like calling your name

If I make it to the sunrise, maybe I’ll let you go

But tonight, I’m letting the bass take control

⸻

Chorus 2

Backseat skyline, you’re in my head again

Smoke in the air and your silhouette’s settling in

Every mile’s got me closer to something I can’t name

But damn if the night don’t know my name

⸻

Outro (airy synths swell, snares echo out, vocals fade in reverb)

Still chasing that skyline…

Still hearing your voice in the low light…

Still chasing that skyline…

Till it all fades out tonight.
