(ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh) The driver took the long way round
Backseat rain on glass,
no sound
He holds the brass rail on the wall
And acts like he don't care at all In a hallway smelling
of bleach
Just out of reach
And the tension builds in the quiet spaces Reading the lines on
our wet-city faces We wait for the light to bend
(is this the end?)
Oh,
let the night wash over us now!
(let it
wash over!) Under the glow,
we finally figured it out
No more holding back,
no more pretend
This is the payoff at the journey's end!
Standing in the yellow light
Wet pavement reflecting the night
Your keys are jangling in your hand
Two people trying to understand
What we left behind in the car
How we got this far
Backseat rain... Just a late summer night (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
