[Verse 1]
You opened that passenger door for me
A hundred times that summer
You kissed me for the first time in the shotgun seat
And it taste like thunder
We kicked up dust in parking lots
We drove too fast, we ran too hot
The moon hung for us, we fell in love
[Chorus]
On a two-lane road
Tracing hearts on the windows
Out with the headlights low
Thought I saw forever in a dashboard glow but
That's the trouble with promises made in the dark
Sometimes you run out of stars
It's the same front seat where I fell for you
It's the same cross hanging from the same rearview
It's the same four wheels where you broke my heart
It's hard to believe it's the same car (Damn)
[Verse 2]
You pulled up at my house early that night
But somethin' felt off
You couldn't even look me in the eyes
When you said we need to talk
And it was sideways in the driveway
And you never even put it in drive
If I could go back, take it all back
I'd get back every midnight
[Chorus]
On a two-lane road
Tracing hearts on the windows
Out with the headlights low
Thought I saw forever in a dashboard glow but
That's the trouble with promises made in the dark
Sometimes you run out of stars
It's the same front seat where I fell for you
It's the same cross hanging from the same rearview
It's the same four wheels where you broke my heart
It's hard to believe it's the same car
It's the same car
[Bridge]
You can paint it a different color
You can trade it up for another
You can play a different song on a new street
You can get a different blonde in the backseat
[Chorus]
On a two-lane road
Tracing hearts on the windows
Out with the headlights low
Thought I saw forever in a dashboard glow but
That's the trouble with promises made in the dark
Sometimes you run out of stars
It's the same front seat where I fell for you
It's the same cross hanging from the same rearview
It's the same four wheels where you broke my heart
Yeah, it's hard to believe
It's the same car
[Outro]
Oh
Ooh, oh
