[Verse 1] You came in late with that crooked smile Shoes full of rain on the mat Said you never stay in one place too long But you looked back after that I had a name for the kind of trouble That always learns my door You said, “Maybe this time we don’t run” And I wanted more [Pre-Chorus] So I kept my hands on the wheel Kept my heart real still You said, “If I stay, will you stay?” And I said, “Yeah, I will” [Chorus] Backseat promises Say my name like this If you’re gonna leave Don’t leave me like this Backseat promises Hold on, hold on, kiss If you’re gonna stay Then stay like this [Verse 2] We drove past the edge of the town Where the diner shuts down early Your laugh hit hard in the front seat Like you knew me already You wore my jacket for the cold I kept your song on low And every mile felt like a dare Neither of us would show [Pre-Chorus] So I kept my hands on the wheel Kept my heart real still You said, “If I stay, will you stay?” And I said, “Yeah, I will” [Chorus] Backseat promises Say my name like this If you’re gonna leave Don’t leave me like this Backseat promises Hold on, hold on, kiss If you’re gonna stay Then stay like this [Bridge] I don’t need forever Just enough to mean it Tell me in the dark If you’re really seeing it One more mile One more chance If you’re gonna break Do it when I can stand [Chorus] Backseat promises Say my name like this If you’re gonna leave Don’t leave me like this Backseat promises Hold on, hold on, kiss If you’re gonna stay Then stay like this
