[Verse 1] Shopping cart with a squeaky wheel You spin it like a dance partner Late shift buzz in the strip mall air Your name tag hanging sideways Coffee in a paper cup You trace your breath on the windshield Static from an old talk show But you’re humming your own ending [Chorus] Parking lot constellations Headlights drawing up the sky You say “Who needs destinations?” When the asphalt’s warm and wide We’re mapping out these faded lines Like they’re secrets Like they’re signs Parking lot constellations And you lighting up my mind [Verse 2] Raincloud parked on the movie sign Letters burned out Half a title You laugh and fill the rest in wrong But your version sounds more vital We count the cracks in the painted arrows Bet on which one leads us home You win and say “Let’s stay lost” I nod like that’s a promise [Chorus] Parking lot constellations Headlights drawing up the sky You say “Who needs destinations?” When the asphalt’s warm and wide We’re mapping out these faded lines Like they’re secrets Like they’re signs Parking lot constellations And you lighting up my mind [Bridge] [Beat drops to guitar and voice] You toss your keys Like tiny comets Catch them once Say “Make a wish” I close my eyes On flickering neon Wish this place Could feel like bliss (oh) [Chorus] Parking lot constellations Headlights drawing up the sky You say “Who needs destinations?” When the asphalt’s warm and wide We’re mapping out these faded lines Like they’re secrets Like they’re signs Parking lot constellations Yeah You’re burning in my mind (oh yeah) Parking lot constellations ’Til the morning kills the shine
