Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We took the long way home
Windows full of rain
Your hand on the wheel
My heart in the lane
Gas station candy
Cheap black coffee
We were sixteen
Acting way too softly
[M] You said, "Don't blink"
[F] I said, "Don't leave"
We were all fire
And scraped-up knees
[Pre-Chorus]
Every town got smaller
Every night got loud
We kept that first love
Hidden in the crowd
[Chorus]
Backseat summer
Backseat summer
We were gone too soon
Backseat summer
Backseat summer
Still got you in my youth
[Verse 2]
Mom said slow down
Dad said take your time
But the road kept calling
And we crossed that line
Dorm room posters
Pack-up boxes
Same old song
Different losses
[M] We grew up fast
[F] Too fast, too hard
Now your old shirt
Lives in my car
[Pre-Chorus]
Every town got smaller
Every night got loud
We kept that first love
Hidden in the crowd
[Chorus]
Backseat summer
Backseat summer
We were gone too soon
Backseat summer
Backseat summer
Still got you in my youth
[Bridge]
Take me back
To the dust on the floor
To the map we folded
To sixteen and more
[F] If we burned out
[M] We burned bright
[F] Hold that memory
[M] Hold it tight
[Chorus]
Backseat summer
Backseat summer
We were gone too soon
Backseat summer
Backseat summer
Still got you in my youth
[Outro]
Cherish it
Before it goes
Cherish it
We learned too slow
