Verse
Engine hum where the street ends
Cold coffee in an empty tin
Blinker flash like a heartbeat
Tail lights flickering thin
Fogged windshield turning gold
Shadows stretch on the wall
Every speed I ever knew
Still can't outrun this fall
Pre-Chorus
So slow down, let it rise
Feel it climb right to my eyes
Keep your hands where they are
Don't go breaking through the dark
Chorus
Midnight pulse, it won't let me go
Midnight pulse, it won't let me go
Faster than my own heartbeat
Slower than I'd like it to be
Every mile that goes by
Brought a little bit of light
Into the darkest corners
I'm still here tonight
Verse
Radio crackling static low
Ghosts in headlights on the road
Gravel crunch beneath my feet
Cold air shaking where it meets
Tailpipe rattle, engine hum
Every mile I've ever run
Fog rolls in, then pulls away
Same view that I'd rather not stay
Pre-Chorus
So slow down, let it rise
Feel it climb right to my eyes
Keep your hands where they are
Don't go breaking through the dark
Chorus
Midnight pulse, it won't let me go
Midnight pulse, it won't let me go
Faster than my own heartbeat
Slower than I'd like it to be
Every mile that goes by
Brought a little bit of light
Into the darkest corners
I'm still here tonight
Bridge
Maybe that's the only speed
Where time is just a hum in my head
No goal but where we land
Just the two of us, standing there with hands
Chorus
Midnight pulse, it won't let me go
Midnight pulse, it won't let me go
Faster than my own heartbeat
Slower than I'd like it to be
Every mile that goes by
Brought a little bit of light
Into the darkest corners
I'm still here tonight
