The night was warm but I still shake
Whenever I remember how my hand felt on her leg
Sat soaked in sodium light, I’ll always hold you tight
I was always better at making empty promises
I always felt on those warm august nights
There was a vast space between us, though we sat side by side
The air in the back seat of the car
grew more hostile as we stared out at the stars
I was always better than you at never showing my cards
Ray bans, hold hands, listen to our favorite bands
Summer heat, middle-seat, you can sit next to me
Ghost town, windows down, do you want to fool around?
Tape deck, bare neck, will you let me kiss it?
