Slipped out the party, didn't say goodbye
The smoke was getting heavy, stinging in my eyes
Saw the silver car waiting in the rain
A momentary shelter from the hurricane
I opened up the door, it smelled like wintergreen
He asked me how I was, and I started coming clean
Backseat confessions on a late ride home
Telling all my secrets to someone I don't know
City out the window's just a watercolor blur
Every word I swallow in the daytime slurs
Seatbelt on but my guard's undone
Crying to a stranger 'bout the shit I've become
I lie to my friends in the broad daylight
But I mean every word in my backseat confessions tonight
I wake up every morning and I put the costume on
Playing out a character who's confident and strong
But the script is getting heavy and the plot is getting stale
I'm trapped inside a story where I'm destined to fail
Everyone's applauding for the way I play the part
While I'm sitting in the dark with a hollowed-out heart

Backseat confessions on a late ride home
Telling all my secrets to someone I don't know
City out the window's just a watercolor blur
Every word I swallow in the daytime slurs
Seatbelt on but my guard's undone
Crying to a stranger 'bout the shit I've become
I lie to my friends in the broad daylight
But I mean every word in my backseat confessions tonight
Maybe he's running from a ghost of his own
Driving these streets so he doesn't go home
He keeps his eyes forward, a silent consent
Like he knows exactly what the sadness meant
Just two lonely people in a metal shell
Taking the scenic route through hell
Car stops at the curb, I wipe off my face
"Have a good night, " as I step back into space
Phone lights up, blue in the dark
I give him five stars... then I fall apart
