Dust on the dashboard, 2 (Version 2) – The Vantage Lights

Verse

City lights flicker on my dashboard frame

Your scarf still tangled round the gearshift frame

I'm driving out of here with a heart full of coal

The fire is burning low but I don't let it go

Your voice is whispering in the radio static air

Reminding me to breathe when I forget that I care

Pre-Chorus

What if this was never goodbye at all?

What if every exit led us straight to more than one last call?

Chorus

Dust on the dashboard, we're not done yet

Every mile takes us further from regret

Dust on the dashboard, the highway's got a name for this

And I'm driving straight into something true and bright

Verse 2

Sunrise rising through the rearview mirror frame

Painting every shadow into gold and flame

I was waiting for your ghost to turn and fade

But instead it's turning right back into my shade

This road keeps pulling me through the darkest night

Guiding me towards something better than this fight

Pre-Chorus

What if this was never goodbye at all?

What if every exit led us straight to more than one last call?

Chorus

Dust on the dashboard, we're not done yet

Every mile takes us further from regret

Dust on the dashboard, the highway's got a name for this

And I'm driving straight into something true and bright

Bridge

I don't need an answer in your voice tonight

Just give me the engine, give me the light

This is how we turn every ending into gold

By leaving one more mile where we've never been told

Chorus

Dust on the dashboard, we're not done yet

Every mile takes us further from regret

Dust on the dashboard, the highway's got a name for this

And I'm driving straight into something true and bright
