Fading Light, Still Running (version 2)

Verse

Salt on my cheekbones from the dashboard light

Radio fading into static white

Highway stretching out like a ribbon of gold

Same old road I've driven so many times before

Your jacket's still folded in the backseat

Empty coffee cup and a receipt

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how you go from holding onto something

To letting it just drift off into nothing

Is this goodbyes or is it just the highway calling

Am I scared of silence or scared of falling

Chorus

I'm running with my arms out in the fading light

Every window's a doorway and tonight

Might be the only time I ever feel alive

So watch me shine while the sky turns silver and white

Nothing left to lose, nothing holding me down

Just wheels on asphalt singing an electric sound

Verse

Diner cup coffee that's gone cold by now

Counting up towns like they're tickets to somewhere new

Skyline lights blur into one long yellow glow

Phone says we're late but I'm in no hurry at all

Your voice still rings out from the night before

Echoes through speakers, echoes through my chest

Pre-Chorus

Tell me how you go from holding onto something

To letting it just drift off into nothing

Is this goodbyes or is it just the highway calling

Am I scared of silence or scared of falling

Chorus

I'm running with my arms out in the fading light

Every window's a doorway and tonight

Might be the only time I ever feel alive

So watch me shine while the sky turns silver and white

Nothing left to lose, nothing holding me down

Just wheels on asphalt singing an electric sound

Bridge

Maybe letting go is just learning how to soar

Not losing you at all, I'm opening up a door

Every mile that disappears under my feet

Is a whole new world waiting on the other side of street

Chorus

I'm running with my arms out in the fading light

Every window's a doorway and tonight

Might be the only time I ever feel alive

So watch me shine while the sky turns silver and white

Nothing left to lose, nothing holding me down

Just wheels on asphalt singing an electric sound
