[Verse 1] You pulled up in that silver coupe Maps and mixtapes on the floor Said "I don't know where I'm going But I can't stay here anymore" Sunset on your aviators Coffee stains on motel sheets Every plan we made got faded Like the names on these old streets [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying this is random But you circle back to me Every time your world feels tangled You call and say "I'm free" [Chorus] Midnight on Ventura You and I Just passengers of fate Every green light Every detour Leads me right back to your gate You say it's just a phase Just a feeling (just a feeling) But you always cross that line Midnight on Ventura You remember And you’re almost mine [Verse 2] You laugh Say you don't do romance As you steal my jacket on the pier Tracing lines on plastic tables Drawing hearts you disappear You talk about the one that left you Like you left me years ago But you keep my sweater in your backseat "Just in case you never know" [Pre-Chorus] You keep saying you're not ready But your hand still finds my hand Every time the road gets empty We’re more honest than we planned [Chorus] Midnight on Ventura You and I Just passengers of fate Every green light Every detour Leads me right back to your gate You say it's just a phase Just a feeling (just a feeling) But you always cross that line Midnight on Ventura You remember And you’re almost mine [Bridge] Headlights flicker on the water You kill the engine Let it roll Say "I never learned to stay To stay" But you never learned to let me go (oh no) All these maybe-tomorrows Stack like empty coffee cups If tonight is all we’ll ever get Why do you keep showing up? [Chorus] Midnight on Ventura You and I Just passengers of fate Every green light Every detour Leads me right back to your gate You say it's just a phase Just a feeling (just a feeling) But you always cross that line Midnight on Ventura Say the word and I’ll be yours this time [Chorus] Midnight on Ventura One more turn And we could redefine Every what-if Every almost Every "later" hanging in your mind If you want me for a lifetime Say it (say it) Or let this be our final sign Midnight on Ventura Drive away Or let our worlds align
