[Intro – quiet, intimate] Streetlights bleed into the rain Your shadow lingers on my pane [Verse 1 – tender, hesitant] We meet where the neon fades low No goodbyes, just the radio glow You brush my hand when the song turns slow Words we can’t say when the world’s awake and know [Verse 1 Continued – yearning] Your laugh’s a secret I keep close A stolen moment I won’t expose We count the minutes ‘til the sun will rise Hiding the truth behind our tired eyes [Chorus 1 – longing, soft] Backseat whispers in the dark A love we can’t let leave a mark Every touch’s a borrowed spark Fearing the dawn will tear us apart [Chorus 2 – aching, vulnerable] Backseat whispers, fragile and thin A secret we can’t ever win We hold on tight to the night we’re in Pretending the world won’t pull us in [Interlude – soft piano melody, gentle bass] [Verse 2 – wistful, quiet] I trace the curve of your jaw in the dim Wishing this night would never end You kiss my forehead, say “don’t think of him” But I know the clock’s ticking down to when [Verse 2 Continued – mournful] I’ll walk back to the life I’m supposed to lead You’ll vanish like the smoke from my weed We’ll act like strangers when we pass on the street Hiding the fire that won’t let us retreat [Chorus 3 – desperate, breathy] Backseat whispers, fading fast A love that won’t ever last We cling to the dark, make the moment last Scared that the light will break the past [Chorus 4 – defeated, soft] Backseat whispers, a silent plea A love that’s not meant to be We let the night carry you and me ‘Til the first light sets us free [Outro – fading, tender] Streetlights die as the sun comes up Your whisper still hangs on my cup
