Backseat Daydream

[Verse 1]
You showed up late in your old blue sweater
Coffee stain on the sleeve
Said it’s your good luck charm
We missed our train
But the sidewalk was better
Counting cracks
Trading jokes
Brushing arm to arm
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
Riding nowhere fast
Windows down
Letting seconds last
If this is nothing
I don’t want more
Laughing like we’ve never hurt before
Backseat daydream
You and me off track
I don’t care if we never get back
To whatever we had planned today
I just want this feeling to stay (oh-oh)
[Verse 2]
You sang off key to a song from summer
Wrong words
Right smile
I memorized the scene
You said
“I’m scared I’ll be just like others”
I said
“Stay weird
” you said
“What’s that mean?”
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
Riding nowhere fast
Windows down
Letting seconds last
If this is nothing
I don’t want more
Laughing like we’ve never hurt before
Backseat daydream
You and me off track
I don’t care if we never get back
To whatever we had planned today
I just want this feeling to stay (hey!)
[Bridge]
Streetlights flicker
Time gets thinner
You trace a heart in the fogged-up glass
One small moment
Getting bigger
I’m scared to speak
Scared it might pass
[Chorus]
Backseat daydream
Riding nowhere fast
Windows down
Letting seconds last
If this is nothing
I don’t want more
Laughing like we’ve never hurt before
Backseat daydream
You and me off track
I don’t care if we ever go back
To the people we were yesterday
I just want this feeling to stay (oh-oh)

pop, Bright pop sheen with bouncy drums, clean rhythm guitar, and fizzy synths; verses stay light and conversational, chorus jumps with stacked gang vocals and claps, short bridge strips to kick and vocal before a final hook explosion
