Song Lyrics Backseat Promises
In the twilight glow, where our laughter rang,
Two young hearts dancing to a love song sang,
We carved our names where the leather cracked,
In that old car, saying vows we never backed.
Whispers echoed softly, dreams spun like gold,
But those promises made never dared to hold.
Oh, backseat promises don’t survive the morning,
Fading like shadows when the light starts pouring,
Those tender moments, we thought we'd keep,
But time moved on, leaving us in memories deep.
Like roses that bloom, only to wilt,
We were young and reckless, with a love that we built.
Remember the nights when the stars shone bright,
We chased the moon, holding on so tight,
Those vows faded faster than the dashboard lights,
Dreams drifting away, like whispers of the night.
Promises like fireflies flickering in the dark,
But in the light of day, they lost their spark.
Oh, backseat promises don’t survive the morning,
Fading like shadows when the light starts pouring,
Those tender moments, we thought we'd keep,
But time moved on, leaving us in memories deep.
Like roses that bloom, only to wilt,
We were young and reckless, with a love that we built.
We thought forever was written in the stars,
Two dreamers racing with the world in their cars,
But the truths we held were like sand in our hands,
Fleeting and fragile, slipping through our plans.
Now I sit in silence, hear that engine hum,
Haunted by echoes of the love we once spun.
Looking back now, at those careless nights,
A bittersweet symphony, under city lights,
Though the years went by and you faded from view,
I cherish those moments, they’ll always feel true.
Old photographs scattered, dust on the shelf,
Those backseat whispers, I’ll remember myself.
Oh, backseat promises don’t survive the morning,
Fading like shadows when the light starts pouring,
Those tender moments, we thought we'd keep,
But time moved on, leaving us in memories deep.
Like roses that bloom, only to wilt,
We were young and reckless, with a love that we built.
So here's to the laughter, the memories we made,
In the backseat of youth, where our dreams never strayed,
And though those promises faded with the dawn,
In my heart, forever, our love will live on.
