Palmwine in My Backpack cover art

Paroles

[Verse 1]
Flip-flops kicking dust
Backpack hanging light
You laugh
“We’ll miss the bus”
We’re already late for life

Ticket in your hair
Tucked behind that curl
You say
“Pick anywhere”
I say
“Pick this world”

[Chorus]
Got that palmwine in my backpack
Sunrise on your face
Every little step
We dance back
To our secret place
When you move like that
My heart claps
Right on every sway
If the road runs out
We’ll turn back
Make a new one anyway (hey!)

[Verse 2]
You drum on your own knees
I tap on your wrist
Little roadside breeze
Turns a promise to a kiss

Market voices rise
Color in the heat
But it’s quiet in your eyes
Like a shade tree just for me

[Chorus]
Got that palmwine in my backpack
Sunrise on your face
Every little step
We dance back
To our secret place
When you move like that
My heart claps
Right on every sway
If the road runs out
We’ll turn back
Make a new one anyway (oh yeah)

[Bridge]
If we get lost
Then good
I’ve been looking for a reason
To stay right where you stood
In this never-ending season

[Chorus]
Got that palmwine in my backpack
Sunrise on your face
Every little step
We dance back
To our secret place
When you move like that
My heart claps
Right on every sway
If the road runs out
We’ll turn back
Make a new one anyway
