Weather Report #3 – Jonah Rivet

Verse

Radio static on the dashboard light

Counting down like we're flying tonight

Fifty more miles before the sun gives up

You said we'd make it south before it's done

Gas stations and empty highway signs

Static turns your voice into a sign

We talked forever in the borrowed time

Chasing something I don't know the kind of

Pre-Chorus

So what happens when this road runs out?

Do we blink and miss it, or do we shout?

Chorus

I'm driving down a highway with my eyes closed tight

Holding onto something that's still gonna ignite

You said you feel it coming in the dark of night

Weather report says the whole sky is bright

We're not lost, we're just learning how to fly

Underneath these stars before they die

Verse

Bonfire sparks on a deserted lot

Names we stole from signs along the coast

Every mile feels like the last one driven

Every stoplight turning red and then forgiven

You kept saying louder than the wind

This is it, this is it, I feel it again

Radio's breaking up but I don't need words

Your hand on my knee keeps time with the cords

Pre-Chorus

So what happens when this road runs out?

Do we blink and miss it, or do we shout?

Chorus

I'm driving down a highway with my eyes closed tight

Holding onto something that's still gonna ignite

You said you feel it coming in the dark of night

Weather report says the whole sky is bright

We're not lost, we're just learning how to fly

Underneath these stars before they die

Bridge

Maybe this is what the ending feels like

Warm and open and absolutely real

No goodbyes, just a map folding in

A horizon that keeps pulling us thin

So let's stay soft where the light gets through

Before it's over I need to feel you too

Chorus

I'm driving down a highway with my eyes closed tight

Holding onto something that's still gonna ignite

You said you feel it coming in the dark of night

Weather report says the whole sky is bright

We're not lost, we're just learning how to fly

Underneath these stars before they die
