Riding the Last Mile (النسخة 2)

Verse

Last hour of the summer before it breaks

Radio crackling through the open windows, no brakes

Cigarette burning down in the cup holder

Sun's going gold behind a layer of thunder

I'm turning up the volume, I don't wanna hear

The engine sputtering, getting too near to fear

Pre-Chorus

Feet still on the pedal, palms still on the wheel

Tell me there's more road left, tell me we can feel

Chorus

Riding the last mile till the headlights take hold

One song for every highway that we're gonna lose

Burning gas and chasing down the clock

This is where I learn to love the unknown

Verse 2

Ticket stub from a concert back in '09

Half-full tank but this engine still knows how to go

Dust on the dashboard, static in my hair

Every mile feels like it's pulling me there

The stereo cuts and then comes back again

Somebody's yelling from behind but we won't give in

Pre-Chorus

Feet still on the pedal, palms still on the wheel

Tell me there's more road left, tell me we can feel

Chorus

Riding the last mile till the headlights take hold

One song for every highway that we're gonna lose

Burning gas and chasing down the clock

This is where I learn to love the unknown

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow's just a version of tonight

Static turns to signal, static turns to light

We'll park it on the shoulder before the sun dips low

And for one second nobody wants this ride to go

Chorus

Riding the last mile till the headlights take hold

One song for every highway that we're gonna lose

Burning gas and chasing down the clock

This is where I learn to love the unknown
