Fast Car in the Snow (النسخة 2)

Verse

Snowflakes on the windshield melting slow like we've got nowhere to go

Your jacket's still smelling like last night at the tavern door

You're counting quarters for a tank that's already almost dry

I'm folding up your map, but I know you won't ask why

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's just winter and maybe this is home

So how do we decide when the leaving's worth the roam

Do we stay or go before we lose our way again

Or ride this out together till the spring comes in

Chorus

We've got a fast car, but it won't take us far from here

Not like the one you're chasing on your birthday wish tonight

So I'll keep my boots by the door and let you drive away into light

Cause maybe leaving is how we learn to stay

Verse 2

Now you're standing there with a suitcase, zipped and stacked like it's already gone

Coffee's cold but you don't mind, just keep on talking about who you used to be when the road was open wide like this again

I'm tracing your collarbone where the map pin fell out

Guess I thought forever meant staying in one place long enough

Pre-Chorus

Maybe it's just winter and maybe this is home

So how do we decide when the leaving's worth the roam

Do we stay or go before we lose our way again

Or ride this out together till the spring comes in

Chorus

We've got a fast car, but it won't take us far from here

Not like the one you're chasing on your birthday wish tonight

So I'll keep my boots by the door and let you drive away into light

Cause maybe leaving is how we learn to stay

Bridge

Maybe roots look different than I thought they'd be

Maybe home's not just a house, it's where you end up meant to be

I'm folding your scarf not 'cause you're gone but because it stays with me

And if someday this porch light finds its way into the headlights of your old life

Then I'll know we never left at all

Chorus

We've got a fast car, but it won't take us far from here

Not like the one you're chasing on your birthday wish tonight

So I'll keep my boots by the door and let you drive away into light

Cause maybe leaving is how we learn to stay
