Runaway in the Headlights (version 2)

Verse 1

Tailgate down, windows rolled up low

Engine humming, we let it go

Sirens in the distance, just a hum

Don't you hear it, let's just run

Palm trees swinging like they're dancing slow

Sunlight cutting through the smoke

Gravel's crumbling beneath my shoe

Every mile is one I get to choose

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight, we're breaking free

Leave the world behind, can't you see?

Don't look back, let it all fade

We're chasing sun and we won't be delayed

Chorus

Runaway in the headlights

Runaway in the headlights

Sky's alive with a golden glow

Runaway in the headlights

Wherever this road may go

Runaway in the headlights

Every mile is one I get to choose, tonight

Verse 2

Headlights flickering on the side of the road

We laugh at shadows that they throw

Radio static and the wind in my hair

We're making memories we'll never share

Pavement shimmers like it's made of gold

Stars are sparkling bright as diamonds cold

No tomorrow, just this one ride

Feet bare down on the dashboard wide

Pre-Chorus

Hold on tight, we're breaking free

Leave the world behind, can't you see?

Don't look back, let it all fade

We're chasing sun and we won't be delayed

Chorus

Runaway in the headlights

Runaway in the headlights

Sky's alive with a golden glow

Runaway in the headlights

Wherever this road may go

Runaway in the headlights

Every mile is one I get to choose, tonight

Bridge

No clock ticking, no place to be

Just the highway and you and me

Let the world keep moving without us

We'll ride these miles into dust

Scream it out under open sky

We're alive, we won't ask why

Free and wide like a runaway song

And I'm never coming back home

Chorus

Runaway in the headlights

Runaway in the headlights

Sky's alive with a golden glow

Runaway in the headlights

Wherever this road may go

Runaway in the headlights

Every mile is one I get to choose, tonight
