backseat window, half-open

Verse 1

Freeway sighs in cotton tone

Billboards tick like metronome

Half a breeze and half a song

Halfway gone, but I belong

Pre-Chorus 1

Let the road erase the din

Let a small night wander in

Chorus 1

Backseat window, half-open—breathe

Stitch my pieces with the trees

I’ll be fine by mile thirteen

Verse 2

Headlights knit a silver seam

Crickets weave a roadside dream

Voices fade to passing air

I recline and I repair

Pre-Chorus 2

I don’t need to know the end

Only how the miles mend

Chorus 2

Backseat window, half-open—breathe

Stitch my pieces with the trees

I’ll be fine by mile thirteen

Bridge

When we stop, keep some of this

Pocket-size, a wind-made kiss

Chorus 3

Backseat window, half-open—stay

Let your cool undo the day

I’ll arrive a lighter way
