Headlight

Lyrics

[Intro — distant] I’ve been driving through the same night Trying to find where the road ends Streetlights disappear behind me Like the names of forgotten friends [Verse 1] Cold glass, two hands on the wheel Don’t know where I’m going Just know how it feels White lines fade underneath There’s a whole world sleeping But it ain’t me And the fog rolls in Till the trees disappear Funny how the dark gets quiet When there’s nobody here [Hook] So I drive I drive Past the places I knew Into the night No headlights behind Nothing ahead but blue Maybe somewhere Past the edge of these lights I’ll wake from this dream And finally feel alive [Instrumental] [Verse 2 — low, almost spoken] Old roads remember everything Tire tracks, promises Summer rain I still see ghosts in the rearview But every mile makes them Look smaller again Don’t call me back Don’t tell me where I’ve been I’m somewhere between Who I was And who I’m becoming [Hook] So I drive I drive Past the places I knew Into the night No headlights behind Nothing ahead but blue Maybe somewhere Past the edge of these lights I’ll wake from this dream And finally feel alive [Outro — distant/repeated] Keep driving… Keep driving… Past the lights Past the lights Maybe I was never lost Maybe I just needed the night.
