**Title: “Headlights in the Rain”**

**[Verse 1: Male]**
I found your old sweatshirt in the backseat
Still smells like August and cheap gasoline
We were seventeen, talking like we knew
Every road in town would lead me back to you

Remember that night by the 7-Eleven
You said forever like you almost meant it
Rain on the roof, your hand in mine
We had no plan, but we had time

**[Pre-Chorus: Female]**
And I still hear that song sometimes
The one we played on midnight drives
I tell myself I’m over you
But I still turn it up like I used to

**[Chorus: Both]**
Do you remember headlights in the rain?
Laughing through the windows like nothing ever changed
We were young, we were reckless, we were almost brave
Making little promises we couldn’t save
And I know we grew up, I know we moved on
But some nights feel like you’re not gone
If you ever think of me, I hope you smile the same
When you remember headlights in the rain

**[Verse 2: Female]**
I saw your old street when I came home
The porch light still flickers like it did before
I almost pulled over, almost called your name
But some ghosts are better left standing in the rain

You were the first one who made me feel
Like movie scenes could happen for real
Now every gray sky pulls me back
To a version of us that we couldn’t have

**[Pre-Chorus: Male]**
And I still hear your laugh sometimes
Mixed in with thunder on summer nights
I tell myself it ended right
But I still miss you when the weather’s like

**[Chorus: Both]**
Do you remember headlights in the rain?
Laughing through the windows like nothing ever changed
We were young, we were reckless, we were almost brave
Making little promises we couldn’t save
And I know we grew up, I know we moved on
But some nights feel like you’re not gone
If you ever think of me, I hope you smile the same
When you remember headlights in the rain

**[Bridge: Male]**
Maybe we were only meant to be a season
A song on the radio, gone before you need it

**[Bridge: Female]**
Maybe that’s why it still feels so golden
We never had to watch it get broken

**[Bridge: Both]**
But I’d be lying if I said
I don’t go back inside my head

**[Final Chorus: Both]**
Do you remember headlights in the rain?
Two hearts in a hurry trying not to change
We were young, we were fearless, we were almost fate
Holding on to moments that slipped away
And I know we grew up, I know we moved on
But some nights feel like you’re not gone
If you ever think of me, I hope you smile the same
When you remember headlights in the rain

**[Outro: Female]**
Rain on the window
Your hand in mine

**[Outro: Male]**
One more red light
One more goodbye

**[Outro: Both]**
If you ever think of me
I hope you smile the same
When you remember
Headlights in the rain
