[Verse 1] You were standin' in the driveway Bare feet on the July tar Laughin' while you traced our names In the dust on my old car We burned pancakes on a Sunday Danced slow in the freezer aisle You kissed the scar above my left knee Said you’d stay a long, long while [Chorus] But now it’s backseat Polaroids Spillin' from a torn shoebox Good years, bad fights All tangled in the same padlock I hate you, then I miss you Both at once, it hits so hard Every sweet thing, every cruel word Lives in my backseat Polaroids [Verse 2] You were slammin' all the cupboards I was pickin' up your plates Neighbors watchin' from their windows Like a show they love to hate You swore that I was always leavin' Even sittin' on the floor With takeout on the coffee table Beggin', “Baby, say no more” [Chorus] ‘Cause now it’s backseat Polaroids Spillin' from a torn shoebox Good years, bad fights All tangled in the same padlock I hate you, then I miss you Both at once, it hits so hard Every sweet thing, every cruel word Lives in my backseat Polaroids [Bridge] Some nights I drive that old dirt road (oh) Play those songs you used to sing Your shadow rides in the rearview Like it never lost its wings I’m learnin’ how to hold the sunshine And still forgive the storm We were both a little poison We were both a little warm [Chorus] So here’s to backseat Polaroids Spillin' from a torn shoebox Good years, bad fights All tangled in the same padlock I don’t want you, but I loved you Both are true inside this heart Every sweet thing, every cruel word Lives in my backseat Polaroids Every soft kiss, every slammed door Stuck in my backseat Polaroids
