[Verse 1]
Night sky bleeding in the windshield
Red eyes
Tired on the wheel
You say
"Drive
" like it’s a dare
Lip gloss poison
Perfume in the air
[Chorus]
Venom in the rearview
Dripping from the words that you never say
Every mile I get near you
You just twist that knife in a sweeter way
All these paved-out promises
Look how they bite
You’re the toxin in my veins and my guide tonight
[Verse 2]
Side streets
Window cracked for silence
Billboards blur into your iris
Laugh sharp
Cutting through the dark
You trace a heart
Then you leave a mark
[Chorus]
Venom in the rearview
Dripping from the words that you never say
Every mile I get near you
You just twist that knife in a sweeter way
All these paved-out promises
Look how they bite
You’re the toxin in my veins and my guide tonight
[Bridge]
You light a smoke
Let it burn too low
Ask if I’d follow where you go (yeah)
I taste that answer on my tongue
Like metal
Like faith
Like being young
[Chorus]
Venom in the rearview
Dripping from the words that you never say
Every mile I get near you
You just twist that knife in a sweeter way
All these paved-out promises
Look how they bite
You’re the toxin in my veins and my guide tonight (tonight)
