We Were Never Quiet (версия 2)

Verse

Sweat on the collarbone where the sun won't touch

Rust and engine oil along the veins of my wrist

Last night was a hundred miles of nothing left to lose

Your hand kept time against the dashboard while the sky went blue

We talked about tomorrow, we talked about how it felt like home

But every mile you sang a little louder until I couldn't hear the road anymore

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it starting to turn around?

Is this the last light before we find our ground?

Tell me one more time if this is what we came for

Chorus

We were never quiet on these four wheels tonight

Every star that we crossed went brighter in your eyes

This town's got nothing but its fading sign

But I know where we're going, and it ain't gonna be fine

So let the engine cough and let the tires squeal

Cause when you're singing like this with me for real

We were never quiet on these four wheels tonight

And I don't want to be anything else

Not now, not ever, just the hum of the radio and you

And we were never quiet

Verse

Every diner has a plate that's still half full

Every gas station light keeps burning for us still

I stole a map from the counter where the payphone rings

You said it didn't matter, that with your hand in mine we could find our way across anything

We talked about settling down like some kind of myth

But when you laugh like this I know that's never what you mean

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it starting to turn around?

Is this the last light before we find our ground?

Tell me one more time if this is what we came for

Chorus

We were never quiet on these four wheels tonight

Every star that we crossed went brighter in your eyes

This town's got nothing but its fading sign

But I know where we're going, and it ain't gonna be fine

So let the engine cough and let the tires squeal

Cause when you're singing like this with me for real

We were never quiet on these four wheels tonight

And I don't want to be anything else

Not now, not ever, just the hum of the radio and you

And we were never quiet

Bridge

I'd drive forever through the darkest mile if only you keep singing like this

No more towns, no more names, no more map to fold and save

Just your voice against mine, just the wheels on blacktop, just us in the dark

This is what I wanted when I asked for it all along

Not some quiet house with a white picket fence and a name

I asked for you at 2:47 under sodium light

And this is exactly how we end up tonight

We were never quiet, baby, not once, not ever

Chorus

We were never quiet on these four wheels tonight

Every star that we crossed went brighter in your eyes

This town's got nothing but its fading sign

But I know where we're going, and it ain't gonna be fine

So let the engine cough and let the tires squeal

Cause when you're singing like this with me for real

We were never quiet on these four wheels tonight

And I don't want to be anything else

Not now, not ever, just the hum of the radio and you

And we were never quiet
