Sunset on the causeway
Pink sky in the rearview glass
Your jacket on my shoulder
We’re stalling just to make it last
Neon on the dashboard
Your laugh in the humid air
You circle little hearts
On a postcard you never share
Under midnight palms
We were writing our names in the dark sand
Under midnight palms
You were tracing forever on my wristband
Every wave pulled time away
Still I feel your fingers on my heart
Under midnight palms
We were almost
Almost at the start
Motel ice machine humming
Stripes on the window blinds
We’re talking about the future
Like it’s something we already signed
Polaroids on the nightstand
Colors starting to fade at the edge
You say
“Promise you’ll remember
Every word that we never said”
Under midnight palms
We were writing our names in the dark sand
Under midnight palms
You were tracing forever on my wristband
Every wave pulled time away
Still I feel your fingers on my heart
Under midnight palms
We were almost
Almost at the start
I still see you in the mirror
Of a car I don’t drive anymore
All that glow in the rearview
Still brighter than the road ahead
Under midnight palms
We were writing our names in the dark sand
Under midnight palms
You were tracing forever on my wristband
Every wave pulled time away
Still I feel your fingers on my heart
Under midnight palms
We were almost
Almost at the start
