Song 1: “Backseat Ghost (July Nights)” — First Meeting Version
(Verse 1)
I still see your smile in the backseat,
July heat rollin’ through the air.
Windows down, radio too loud,
First night I caught you starin’ there.
We were strangers caught in the firelight,
Beer cans clinkin’ in the dark.
I swear the whole town disappeared that night,
When July put a spark in my heart.
(Chorus)
You’re a backseat ghost on these July nights,
The first time I saw your eyes.
Every mile I run just pulls me closer
To that summer we came alive.
I’m callin’ out to the silence,
Wishin’ I could rewind time.
To that backseat laugh on a July night,
When your hand first touched mine.
(Verse 2)
We were reckless kids with no direction,
Chasin’ fireworks into the sky.
July painted us in red and gold,
And I never felt so alive.
Now the night feels colder than December,
But I hold on to that fire.
To the moment I first met you there,
And July gave birth to desire.
(Chorus)
You’re a backseat ghost on these July nights,
The first time I saw your eyes.
Every mile I run just pulls me closer
To that summer we came alive.
I’m callin’ out to the silence,
Wishin’ I could rewind time.
To that backseat laugh on a July night,
When your hand first touched mine.
