[Verse 1] I hit the gas, no rearview glance, Your perfume ghosts the glass. You said, “This ain’t love, just circumstance,” But I don’t drive for class. Your lipstick smeared a warning sign, Blood-red across the dash, Now every mile’s a dotted line, To something built to crash. [Pre-Chorus] I can’t forget that bite of cherry wine. You can’t erase the taste, it’s mine. We’re burning up, no turning down tonight. [Chorus] Lipstick on the dashboard, we’re a wreck in style, Hearts like matches, kiss and self-denial. You said “forever,” just to hear it break — Lipstick on the dashboard, and brakes that fade. [Verse 2] You love the chase, not the truth, You’re all headlights and youth. I smoke the air, it smells like you — Petrol, guilt, and something new. You think your scars are souvenirs, But mine don’t fade, they bloom. I don’t need saving, just a room. [Pre-Chorus] You think I’m yours just ‘cause I stayed. You’re the spark I can’t evade. The wreckage looks so good in flames. [Chorus] Lipstick on the dashboard, we’re a wreck in style, Hearts like matches, kiss and self-denial. You said “forever,” just to hear it break — Lipstick on the dashboard, and brakes that fade. [Bridge] If I drive till dawn, will it wash us clean? Or just smear the past in gasoline? You said, “love’s a crime scene dressed in chrome.” Yeah, baby, and we’re never going home. [Final Chorus] Lipstick on the dashboard, the city fades behind, Sirens sing in harmony, with what we left behind. You said “forever,” I said “we’ll see” — Lipstick on the dashboard, still haunting me.
