Streetlamp cuts the dark inside the car
Your hand against my jaw like a question mark
I can still feel the leather where we sat
Your breath a whisper on a fading track
We were two shadows in a borrowed light
Kissing like we had the whole night
But the engine never turned and the windows fogged
And something in your eyes was already gone
We held the silence like a fragile glass
Knowing this moment could not last
I trace the shape of where you used to be
Just a ghost now in the backseat
And the rearview light is all I have
A single beam on what we had
You leaned in close and I believed
That love could stay if we never leave
But the streetlamp flickers and I am alone
Counting miles on a borrowed phone
The taste of your lip gloss still on my mouth
Now the car is cold and you are south
I drive the same roads every night
Looking for your silhouette in the dashboard light
You said forever was a parking lot
But I guess forever is a thing we are not
I remember the way your fingers traced my sleeve
A tiny gesture I could not believe
Would be the last time you touched my skin
Now the radio plays songs that pull me in
We held the silence like a fragile glass
Knowing this moment could not last
I trace the shape of where you used to be
Just a ghost now in the backseat
And the rearview light is all I have
A single beam on what we had
You leaned in close and I believed
That love could stay if we never leave
Maybe the truth is we were always going
Two different planets in a single moment
I keep the Polaroid in the glove box
A piece of light that never stops
And the rearview light is all I have
A single beam on what we had
Now the car is cold and you are south
I am still kissing your ghost in my mouth
