Destination calling
We can’t let this end
This can’t count for nothing
Let’s at least be friends
Would you recognise
Me In ten years time?
Would your number be the same?
Will you still have mine?
Backseat, passed out
Quarter to nine
In two directions
Sorry my words don’t come out right
I had the best intentions
Baby don’t say that you’ll still love me
You can’t promise things like that
Say you’ll always have my back
Say you’ll always call me back

Baby don’t say that you’ll still love me
You can’t promise things like that
Say you’ll always have my back
Say you’ll always call me back
Backseat, passed out
Quarter to nine
In two directions
Sorry my words don’t come out right
I had the best intentions
Baby don’t say that you’ll still love me
You can’t promise things like that
Say you’ll always have my back
Say you’ll always call me back
