Intro
(Runway lights flicker overhead, nothing but road ahead)
Hold your breath
Verse
Dusty gas station sign still glowing red
Four hours past my bedtime and I'm not even tired instead
You said we'd chase the dawn across these county lines
I said you know me well enough to count on this time
Pre-Chorus
Can you hear that? It's what I'm listening for now
A highway that stretches out and swallows all the rest
Chorus
We keep running through the dark
Every mile feels like its own little spark
You turn up loud against the rearview glass
Headlights in your eyes, we're running on the gas
Verse 2
Old-fashioned diner serving coffee and a prayer
The waitress knows our names but not where we go from here
I watch the sun come up across the fields of wheat
We've got an hour left to drive before we have a seat
Pre-Chorus
(Engine purrs like it's still asleep, waiting for us to decide)
Can you feel that? It's pulling us apart and back inside
One more mile down this road before we settle in for real
Chorus
We keep running through the dark
Every mile feels like its own little spark
You turn up loud against the rearview glass
Headlights in your eyes, we're running on the gas
Bridge
Maybe it's not a journey at all — maybe it's just us
Two cars full of fire and nobody to catch us first
We keep running till we turn into dawn
Chorus
We keep running through the dark
Every mile feels like its own little spark
You turn up loud against the rearview glass
Headlights in your eyes, we're running on the gas
