[Verse 1] Engine purrin’ like a wild confession Moon hangin’ low like a guilty grin Windows foggin’ with a slow confession Hearts playin’ chicken with the dark we’re in [Pre-Chorus] Your laugh spilled out like gasoline One spark away from a blaze My hands were shakin’ on the wheel But you were fire in the haze (yeah) [Chorus] Backseat baptism under pale-red skies Two reckless halos in each other’s eyes We crossed that border on a gravel throne Left our paper wings where the cornfields moan Backseat baptism, bodies learning rhyme We burned our training wheels on the county line [Verse 2] Denim curtains, little chapel of rust Seat belt halos hangin’ over our heads First-time thunder in a shrine of dust Erasin’ every line that our parents said [Pre-Chorus] Your kiss hit hard like summer rain Beat down the tremble in me Every button like a landmine Every sigh a key (oh yeah) [Chorus] Backseat baptism under pale-red skies Two reckless halos in each other’s eyes We crossed that border on a gravel throne Left our paper wings where the cornfields moan Backseat baptism, bodies learning rhyme We burned our training wheels on the county line [Bridge] We carved our names in the steering wheel shadow Swore that night would never fade But that tin-can chapel on that dirt-road meadow Turned boys to legends in the stories we made [Chorus] Backseat baptism under pale-red skies Two reckless halos in each other’s eyes We crossed that border on a gravel throne Left our paper wings where the cornfields moan Backseat baptism, hearts in overdrive We left that gravel road but the fire’s alive
