Midnight Engine Kick (версия 2)

Intro

Engine purring soft in the dark

Verse 1 – male light tenor

Headlights cut through smoke on the gravel drive

Your shadow crosses where the porch light used to be

Chorus

You were gone before I even saw your door swing open

You left me running with just a handful of what could have been

This old town's still spinning when you finally come home tonight

I'm chasing the engine kick where you've been, and I won't slow down

Verse 2 – male light tenor

Neon sign out by the diner, humming its tired song

Every window on Main Street is dark except for one where we used to belong

Pre-Chorus

What if this time you came back for me instead of the ghosts of us?

Would I turn off this engine and walk out into daylight with my hands up?

Chorus

You were gone before I even saw your door swing open

You left me running with just a handful of what could have been

This old town's still spinning when you finally come home tonight

I'm chasing the engine kick where you've been, and I won't slow down
