[Verse 1]
We were drivin' on the highway after a long day at the beach
The sky looked pretty clear, so you took the top off of the jeep
And we sang all the words to our favorite songs from the seventies
Serenadin' through the decades and the breeze
And up ahead, the sky turned red, and then it fades to gray
We can't protect, our clothes got wet out in the pouring rain
The windshield wipers werе no help at all, but they turned on anyway
You smilеd at me and you said, "It's a perfect day"
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we wouldn't make it
We tried to wait it out
Under the gas station
We parked, then we made out
For a couple minutes
Then we went back on our route
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta drive
A convertible in the rain
Move through the night
Never pressin' down on the brakes
If we were to die
I wouldn't mind goin' this way (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
'Cause I love you in the chaos
And I don't care if we're safe
Drivin' a convertible in the rain
[Verse 2]
Even though you tried, you couldn't quite keep your hands at ten and two
I can't deny, I never tried to keep mine off of you
We've been together for almost two years, but tonight, it feels brand new
Maybe it's the t-shirt, how the rain glues it to you
[Pre-Chorus]
I thought we wouldn't make it
We tried to wait it out
Under the gas station
We parked, then we made out
For a couple minutes
Then we went back on our route
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta drive
A convertible in the rain
Move through the night
Never pressin' down on the brakes
If we were to die
I wouldn't mind goin' this way (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
'Cause I love you in the chaos
And I don't care if we're safe
[Bridge]
We're breezin' past the streetlights as if there's a storm the chase
And I can recognize your laugh without lookin' at your face
And we're never goin' back to where we were just yesterday
We can't recreate this feeling every day
[Chorus]
Sometimes you gotta drive
A convertible in the rain
Move through the night
Never pressin' down on the brakes
If we were to die
I wouldn't mind goin' this way (Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah)
'Cause I love you in the chaos
And I don't care if we're safe
Drivin' a convertible in the rain
[Post-Chorus]
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh)

Another diary entry I open up for you to read, a story from a while ago, a story about feeling free, and being terrified while being in love. <3 “Gemini” was Massachusetts, “Girl Code” was New York, now it’s time to fill in the many stories of the in between. I couldn’t be more excited.

“Convertible in the Rain” was written in retrospect, as many of my story-songs are… I had a clear mind about this night, about how much it meant to me, and how exhilarating it is to be young and in love. Playing this song on tour brings me back to my childhood in New England… and the production is h...
“Convertible in the Rain” was written in early 2021 while I was in the midst of a heartbreak. Sometimes it takes a bit of retrospect to allow me to fully piece together some of the beautiful moments that are now a part of my past. I actually wrote this song the day after I wrote my song “Jane,” whic...
I went back to the beach in Rhode Island to shoot the music video for “Convertible in the Rain!” It was my second time directing, which has been a beautiful way for me to extend my songwriting on the visual plane. I felt like there was no better place to film the video since I wanted to honor the st...
