Back of David’s Car

[Verse 1]
Met you in Chicago
One August night, heat on the glass
Just a hand shake, just your name
Somehow it all moved too fast
Talked till the streetlights faded
Coffee cups, our phones gone dark
Laughed about every wrong turn
You were a match and a spark
[Chorus]
Back of David’s car, we were soulmates
Windows fogged up, hearts in the air
Rode our bikes till sunrise
Empty roads, wind in your hair
Rooftop kiss above the business
City quiet like it knew who we are
Said we’d never let go, never let go
Back of David’s car
[Verse 2]
You traced maps on my wrist
Told me the secrets you saved
Said you were scared of forever
I said, “Let’s just be brave”
We watched the parking lot glowing
From that rooftop, shoes by the door
You whispered, “This feels like always”
I’d never felt that before
[Chorus]
Back of David’s car, we were soulmates
Windows fogged up, hearts in the air
Rode our bikes till sunrise
Empty roads, wind in your hair
Rooftop kiss above the business
City quiet like it knew who we are
Said we’d never let go, never let go
Back of David’s car
[Bridge]
Six a.m. sky turning cotton and gold
Chain grease on our jeans, we were never that bold
But you smiled like you’d seen my future
From a thousand miles away (oh)
If the years ever blur this memory
I’ll still taste that August heat
And the promise in the backseat
[Chorus]
Back of David’s car, we were soulmates
Windows fogged up, hearts in the air
Rode our bikes till sunrise
Empty roads, wind in your hair
Rooftop kiss above the business
City quiet like it knew who we are
Said we’d never let go, never let go
Back of David’s car

Warm indie-pop with a touch of Midwest nostalgia; male vocals over springy clean guitar, round bass, and brushed drums. Verses stay intimate and close-mic’d; choruses bloom with stacked harmonies, tambourine, and subtle synth pads. Final chorus lifts in key and energy, then drops to a soft, single-guitar outro.
