how we ride

[Intro]

[Verse 1]

You said take the long way home

So we missed the turn on purpose

Your jacket's on my side of the seat

And the window keeps fogging up

Friday night, 2:13

Somebody's still awake downtown

You tap the wheel when the bass comes in

I catch myself doing it now

[Pre-Chorus]

We don't really talk that much

When the song's this good

You look over, I look away

Like I always would

[Chorus]

I like how we ride

No plans, no timing

Just your hand outside mine

While the whole road's sliding

We take the back streets

Till we don't know where we are

You laugh, I miss the exit

And we keep going in the dark

[Post-Chorus]

Ride with me

Don't make it complicated

Ride with me

We can leave it where we came from

[Verse 2]

Your phone's been buzzing all night

You don't even bother checking

There's a half-cold drink in the cupholder

And my lipstick on the straw again

You tell me some story from last summer

I swear I've heard it three times

Still, I let you get to the ending

Just to hear you say the last line

[Pre-Chorus]

Maybe it's the hour

Maybe it's the streetlights

Everything feels softer

When you don't look too closely

[Chorus]

I like how we ride

No plans, no timing

Just your hand outside mine

While the whole road's sliding

We take the back streets

Till we don't know where we are

You laugh, I miss the exit

And we keep going in the dark

[Bridge]

If we get home, we get home

If we don't, that's fine

There's a little blue light

Running over your eyes

And I don't wanna name it

Don't wanna make it real

Some things sound better

When they're left between the wheels

[Break]

Keep it low

Keep it moving

Don't say where we're going

Keep it low

Keep it moving

I kinda like not knowing

[Final Chorus]

I like how we ride

No plans, no timing

Your side against mine

And the whole night sliding

We take the back streets

Till the sky starts turning grey

You ask if I'm tired

I say, "Not yet."

[Outro]
