[Verse 1]
Shared a soda
On the hood of your dad’s old car
Summer bleeding
Through the rip in your borrowed scarf
You drew hearts on my wrist
With a stolen hotel pen
Said
“This is nothing serious”
Then kissed me again

[Chorus]
Backseat polaroids
Blurring when we laugh too hard
Every crooked frame
Feels like a brand-new start
I don’t know what this is
But it’s louder than my doubts tonight
Backseat polaroids
Catching us in perfect
Messy light

[Verse 2]
Dropped your phone
In the grass by the corner store
You said
“If it breaks
Guess I’ll just talk to you more”
We got lost on a street
You swore you grew up near
Windows fogged from our names
Traced in shaky mirror

[Chorus]
Backseat polaroids
Blurring when we laugh too hard
Every crooked frame
Feels like a brand-new start
I don’t know what this is
But it’s louder than my doubts tonight
Backseat polaroids
Catching us in perfect
Messy light

[Bridge]
Maybe by September
We forget the way this feels
Or maybe we remember
Every scratch on these cheap wheels
If it all fades
I’ll still keep one thing
Your face half-smiling
When you tried to sing (oh-oh)

[Chorus]
Backseat polaroids
Blurring when we laugh too hard
Every crooked frame
Stitched like a badge on my heart
I don’t know what this is
But I’m holding it with both hands tight
Backseat polaroids
Catching us in perfect
Messy light
