Ride Through the Orange Light

Lyrics

[Intro] (Melodic, echoing electric guitar hook over acoustic strumming) [Verse 1] Midnight on the ring road, headlights cutting through The dashboard clock is glowing, painted shades of blue You've got your knees up on the plastic, staring at the rain Telling me the things you never want to feel again [Chorus] And we ride through the orange light Holding onto nothing in the middle of the night Yeah, we chase what we left behind Two lost shadows in a different frame of mind Before the morning breaks the spell Before we say our last farewell [Verse 2] The radio is static, playing some old tune We parked beside the bypass underneath a heavy moon You drew a circle on the window, watched it fade away A quiet little promise that we didn't have to say [Chorus] And we ride through the orange light Holding onto nothing in the middle of the night Yeah, we chase what we left behind Two lost shadows in a different frame of mind Before the morning breaks the spell Before we say our last farewell [Guitar Solo] (Soaring, melodic electric guitar solo in the vein of early 2000s indie rock) [Bridge] Maybe we are running out of road Maybe this is where the story bends But I will keep the passenger seat warm Until the highway ends [Chorus] And we ride through the orange light Holding onto nothing in the middle of the night Yeah, we chase what we left behind Two lost shadows in a different frame of mind Before the morning breaks the spell Before we say our last farewell [Outro] Just a different frame of mind Before the morning breaks the spell... (Guitars slowly fade out into ambient acoustic chords)
