lyrics

Your slipper leaves dust by the mat

My keys in the tray, your bag by the strap

The fan turns slow on the Tata dashboard

Your bangles rest quiet, soft and worn

Signal dies near the old biriyani shop

You lean on the glass, let the whole thing stop

I know that look, I know that peace

Two cup holders, one calm release

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

We don’t need words tonight

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

The clock on the metro bridge says nine ten

Your phone face-down, and mine too, then

The packet of chips gets passed with care

Cold mint on your tongue, humid hair

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

We don’t need words tonight

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

At the signal by the booked cab stand

You touch my sleeve with your left hand

No questions, no rush, no explain

Just the road and the rain-pane

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet

We don’t need words tonight

Backseat quiet, backseat quiet
