Rust on your collarbone (Version 2)

Verse 1

We've been driving through the dark for hours now

Your window's down and your elbow leans on mine

You're whistling low at something in the road ahead

I don't know what you're looking at but I'm glad it made you smile

The stars above us are too far up to count tonight

But right here in this truck bed, under these few bulbs

There's a whole world already done and nothing left undone

Just your breathing slow against my shoulder blade

Pre-Chorus

You feel that hum still running through the floor?

It's the same one we were chasing when you first walked out the door

We ain't got no place we need to be right now

But there's a comfort in this worn old engine, spinning round and round

Chorus

Let it go low tonight

Hold on tight while it fades away into light

This is where the night belongs to us two

Don't let it go until I've got your hand through

Every single star up above has watched us do this before

So take a deep breath, girl. We're not lost no more

Verse 2

We used to drive these same gravel roads with nothing on our mind

Just the radio and a tank full of gas we never thought would run dry

Now the sun's coming up behind your hair and it makes me grin

You know as well as I do that this is just us finally getting home

The sky out here turns pink in every single windowpane

But to me, you're still the only light I need right now to find my way through this dark again

I'm not asking for a whole lot just your hand and this worn old floor

Cause when we're sitting right beside each other like this, I know that I'll never be alone no more

Pre-Chorus

You feel that hum still running through the floor?

It's the same one we were chasing when you first walked out the door

We ain't got no place we need to be right now

But there's a comfort in this worn old engine, spinning round and round

Chorus

Let it go low tonight

Hold on tight while it fades away into light

This is where the night belongs to us two

Don't let it go until I've got your hand through

Every single star up above has watched us do this before

So take a deep breath, girl. We're not lost no more

Bridge

I ain't asking for forever but tonight right here will do just fine

We'll keep on turning these old gravel roads till the world outside slows down to our time

You and I don't need no grand romantic speech or fireworks in the sky

Just me, you, this engine purring soft against your skin and the dark passing us by

Chorus

Let it go low tonight

Hold on tight while it fades away into light

This is where the night belongs to us two

Don't let it go until I've got your hand through

Every single star up above has watched us do this before

So take a deep breath, girl. We're not lost no more
