[Intro]
Just past midnight, the engine hums
Dash lights dancing on your fingertips
A kiss of smoke, a caffeine fix
Another town, another risk

[Verse 1]
I’m gonna pick you up
You bring the chemistry
I’ll bring the coffee
Extra hot, we take it black

[Verse 2]
I took my ride to the shop
She’s just as fine as she was in the ‘90s
I’d forgot how beautiful
Time cannot rust what matters most

[Pre-Chorus]
And we’ll go driving, there’s an ocean — we will find it
No matter where, a hundred miles too far
Turn off the GPS, let’s choose to get lost
Off the road, finding each other in the dark

[Chorus]
Crushes, cars, and coffee
Cruising through this love like we stole it
Laughing like we’ve never known fear
Burning up roads and years
You and me — two hearts, half-awake
Dreaming wide-eyed with the night at stake
Crushes, cars, and coffee — just us
Rising up, like the sun

[Verse 3]
We never needed maps
Just mixtapes and the open air
Your feet on the dash
My hand in your hair

[Chorus]
Crushes, cars, and coffee
Cruising through this love like we stole it
Laughing like we’ve never known fear
Burning up roads and years
You and me — two hearts, half-awake
Dreaming wide-eyed with the night at stake
Crushes, cars, and coffee — just us
Rising up, like the sun

[Bridge]
Every diner, every neon glow
We leave a piece of our story there
In lipstick prints and engine smoke
You love me like the wind — every mile

[Chorus – Repeat with Variation]
Crushes, cars, and coffee
Cruising through this love like we stole it
Laughing like we’ve never known loss
Burning up roads and years
You and me — two hearts, half-awake
Dreaming wide-eyed with the night at stake
Crushes, cars, and coffee — just us
And the dawn

[Outro]
When the gas runs out and the stars are gone
Will you still ride with me to parts unknown?
We’ll refill the tank, rewrite the plot —
Crushes, cars, and coffee… still hot

[Instrumental ending, just acoustic guitar and female vocal]

Just past midnight, the engine hums
Dash lights dancing on your fingertips
A kiss of smoke, a caffeine fix
Another town, another love
