[Verse 1]
Highway hum and soda cans
Cracked screen map with shaking hands
Windows down
Hair in the glow
You say
“Pick a place
Let’s go”
Old motel signs flicker past
Names we swear we’ll never ask
Playlist skips
To some old tune
Suddenly the car feels like June
[Chorus]
Midnight Polaroids
Fading while we’re holding on
Laughing in the dark
Flash gone
Still burned in my mind
Midnight Polaroids
Blurry but they feel so clear
Every little frame right here
For a little more time
(yeah, a little more time)
[Verse 2]
Empty lot
We park too far
Counting planes
Not counting stars
You trace roads
On my left sleeve
Like you’re drawing ways to leave
Gas receipts on dusty floor
Jokes we’ve told a thousand times before
You say
“Someday
We’ll outrun this town”
But you never write it down
[Chorus]
Midnight Polaroids
Fading while we’re holding on
Laughing in the dark
Flash gone
Still burned in my mind
Midnight Polaroids
Blurry but they feel so clear
Every little frame right here
For a little more time
(oh, a little more time)
[Bridge]
If we never make it further than this road
Would it really be so bad to let it slow?
Street names spinning past like years
We keep driving through our fears
Even if the colors wash away
[Chorus]
Midnight Polaroids
Fading while we’re holding on
Singing to a half-known song
Still burned in my mind
Midnight Polaroids
Blurry but they feel so clear
Every little frame right here
For a little more time
Just a little more time
