Burning in the Rearview (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Mm-mm, engine warm like a second skin

Concrete cooling under my shoes

Two a.m. and your hand still in mine

Every neon sign blinking through

Your jacket's ripped along the seam

Gasoline glow where the streetlights meet

You spin me left and I follow right

Radio static holding on to the last refrain of night

Headlights flicker, cut like a switch

Nowhere else we'd rather be tonight

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why this feels so right

Why your eyes are catching gold in the dark

Something about us won't ignite until it's gone and far apart

Chorus

Burning in the rearview, burning in the rearview

Every streetlight turning blue just to light you up for me, for me

Nothing left but this one drive with your hand on my knee

I'm running slow through amber skies, burning in the rearview

We don't stop till the dashboard glows red, till the speakers give their last sound, last sound

Verse 2

Mm-mm, gravel's kicking under tires

Your shirt stuck to your back like it knows this is a burn that never dies

Every mile marker counting down what we have left in store for you

Headlights fade and still we drive some more

Palm trees blur into one long line of gold

Nowhere else I'd rather spend the night

You pull me close, the engine roars back up

Static on my skin where your fingers keep their grip

Gas gauge ticking down but the world's our own now, kid

Nothing left but this open road and you against the wind

Pre-Chorus

So tell me why this feels so right

Why your eyes are catching gold in the dark

Something about us won't ignite until it's gone and far apart

Chorus

Burning in the rearview, burning in the rearview

Every streetlight turning blue just to light you up for me, for me

Nothing left but this one drive with your hand on my knee

I'm running slow through amber skies, burning in the rearview

We don't stop till the dashboard glows red, till the speakers give their last sound, last sound

Bridge

Mm-mm, headlights dip below the trees

One song left and I know you know it as well as me

Hold on tight — we're crossing into blue

This is all I've got before the static pulls us through

Chorus

Burning in the rearview, burning in the rearview

Every streetlight turning blue just to light you up for me, for me

Nothing left but this one drive with your hand on my knee

I'm running slow through amber skies, burning in the rearview

We don't stop till the dashboard glows red, till the speakers give their last sound, last sound
