Pavement Sky

Verse

Your sneakers laced on the porch frame

Beneath the streetlight's low blue shade

We talked about the miles we'd claim

Before you said I'm staying here for a while

The engine hummed like a held breath

Your eyes were steady when you said goodbye

I thought it would take more time to breathe

This empty house, these four walls still warm

Pre-Chorus

Tell me where's the line between in and gone

Can we find our own way back home

Chorus

You're the sunset over a closed gate

I'm the open road with nothing to wait for

Hold on tight while I drive all night

Watch me disappear into the pavement sky

You're the sunset over a closed gate

I'm the open road with nothing to wait for

Verse 2

The radio plays songs that we used to know

We sang them loud but now they only hum

The backseat's warm where your jacket used to be

Every mile is a chance for me to learn

You said I'd find my own way in the dark

I thought it meant forgetting you first

But every road I take, every sign

Brings me right back to the place where we were

Pre-Chorus

Tell me where's the line between in and gone

Can we find our own way back home

Chorus

You're the sunset over a closed gate

I'm the open road with nothing to wait for

Hold on tight while I drive all night

Watch me disappear into the pavement sky

You're the sunset over a closed gate

I'm the open road with nothing to wait for

Bridge

Maybe home isn't just one place

Maybe it's every mile, every space

I'll keep driving till the stars come out

Till I find what we were looking at without

You

Your voice

This open door

Chorus

You're the sunset over a closed gate

I'm the open road with nothing to wait for

Hold on tight while I drive all night

Watch me disappear into the pavement sky

You're the sunset over a closed gate

I'm the open road with nothing to wait for
