[Verse 1]
Mascara in the mirror at the red light
Laughing like she never had a bad night
Sun on her shades
Hair in the wind
Got that “I don’t really care” kind of grin
[Pre-Chorus]
Every lane she changes feels like leaving
Little scars and secrets in the rearview gleaming
If you saw the pages she keeps folded tight
You’d know why she’s racing through the yellow lights
[Chorus]
She’s got chrome and lip gloss
Windows down
Hands off
Singing like the heartbreak’s gone (oh-oh)
Yeah she’s flying past her fears
Wiping off those hidden tears
They don’t see the weight she’s carried on
But she won’t let it drag her spirit out
She just turns it up and drowns the doubt
She carries on
Carries on
[Verse 2]
High beams on the highway of pretending
Smiling for the story they keep posting
Cardigan in pieces on the back seat floor
She left that small-town version at the exit before
[Pre-Chorus]
Every mile marker feels like breathing
Little wins she counts when the hurt starts creeping
If you knew the nights she almost turned around
You’d cheer every time that she hits this town
[Chorus]
She’s got chrome and lip gloss
Windows down
Hands off
Singing like the heartbreak’s gone (hey!)
Yeah she’s flying past her fears
Wiping off those hidden tears
They don’t see the weight she’s carried on
But she won’t let it drag her spirit out
She just turns it up and drowns the doubt
She carries on
Carries on
[Bridge]
In the slow lane
She was stuck in her head
Now the fast lane feels like leaving that dead
She still cries at the stop signs sometimes
But she rolls through the pain
Lets it blur in the lines (oh-oh)
[Chorus]
She’s got chrome and lip gloss
Windows down
Hands off
Singing like the heartbreak’s gone
Yeah she’s flying past her fears
Wiping off those hidden tears
They don’t see the weight she’s carried on
But she won’t let it drag her spirit out
She just turns it up and drowns the doubt
She carries on
Carries on
(carries on, carries on)
