Backseat Promises

강다니엘(KANG DANIEL)

You showed up late in that ride,

Windows stuck but we didn’t mind.

Our hoodie smelled like smoke and rain

We kissed once then did it again.

 

And I know we said we’d move on,

But I keep findin’ you in every song.

Those nights we swore would never fade—

They echo back to me like a sweet cascade.

 

We said forever, but never meant it.

Now I drive through towns we invented.

The nights stay cold, nothing dismisses

What we were - backseat promises.

 

Found your note in my winter coat,

Soft and worn, like something remote.

A quiet line that carried your breath—

I folded it twice, left it in the street.

 

And I know we said we’d move on,

But I keep findin’ you in every song.

Those nights we swore would never fade—

They echo back to me like a sweet cascade.

 

We said forever, but never meant it.

Now I drive through towns we invented.

The nights stay cold, nothing dismisses

What we were - backseat promises

I pass that street, but never slow

Some things fade, but never go

i pass that street but never slow

some things fade but (and) never go

 

I still go back, though there’s no reason.

Trace your name in every season.

The roads moved on, but I still miss us.

Can’t outrun those backseat promises
