Stranger's Car

Stranger's Car lyrics

Verse 1

At 6:17, rain on the glass
In a silver sedan, parked by the laundromat
He had that pine-tree tag
Swinging from the mirror like it knew my past

I heard a line
From the passenger side
And my whole chest went still
Like it was mine

Pre-Chorus

Got a red cup stain
On my hoodie sleeve
Then the chorus hit
And it hit me

Chorus

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
And I laughed too hard
Then I fell apart

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
At a gas-station stop
That old hurt sparked

(our song in a stranger's car)

Verse 2

He asked if I was okay
I said, "Yeah, I'm fine"
But I watched that dashboard glow
Like a bruise come alive

One cracked phone mount
One receipt in the tray
One broken air freshener
And I was ten months late

Pre-Chorus

Same crooked line
Same tiny bend
I thought I buried it
Then there it went

Chorus

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
And I laughed too hard
Then I fell apart

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
At a gas-station stop
That old hurt sparked

(our song in a stranger's car)

Bridge

I gripped the door
Like it could hold me in
He kept driving slow
I kept losing it

No big scene
Just a small flat ache
And a song I knew
In a different place

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
And I laughed too hard
Then I fell apart

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
At a gas-station stop
That old hurt sparked

Our song in a stranger's car
Our song in a stranger's car
I heard us back
And I couldn't talk

(our song in a stranger's car)
