Bittersweet and Beautiful

Verse 1

You were waiting at the stoplight when I pulled up to the red

Told me you'd be here every day till the sun went down instead

I turned the key in the ignition and we took off into white

A hundred miles of nothing and your hand on my knee tonight

Pre-Chorus

Don't look back at what's behind, just drive through the dark

You can't find home if you stay here long enough to see it spark

Every window rolling down is a chance to leave it all behind

Let go like we're floating in a cloud that's drifting right off time

Chorus

So here we are, driving till we disappear

With your fingers on my knee and the headlights dancing clear

Bittersweet and beautiful, nothing left but this road

We don't need to find our place when we've got each other whole

Verse 2

The sun came up over a diner in a place I'd never been

You ordered two coffee cups and a plate of pancakes that shone like skin

We talked about forever from the same worn booth where your grandfather used to play

I told you I didn't know what tomorrow would bring, but tonight felt okay

Pre-Chorus

Don't look back at what's behind, just drive through the dark

You can't find home if you stay here long enough to see it spark

Every window rolling down is a chance to leave it all behind

Let go like we're floating in a cloud that's drifting right off time

Chorus

So here we are, driving till we disappear

With your fingers on my knee and the headlights dancing clear

Bittersweet and beautiful, nothing left but this road

We don't need to find our place when we've got each other whole

Bridge

Maybe home is not a house or a street

But that feeling you get when your heart skips a beat

Maybe it's just this moment right now in time

With the world outside us fading like a line drawn out of mind

Chorus

So here we are, driving till we disappear

With your fingers on my knee and the headlights dancing clear

Bittersweet and beautiful, nothing left but this road

We don't need to find our place when we've got each other whole
