[Verse 1]
Wipers drag across the glass
Ghosts smear in the rearview frame
Dashboard glow on my empty hands
Your name in the fog
Then it fades
Mile signs blur
All blue and white
Hydroplaned on what we were
Radio off
I hear you fight
In every tire hiss and turn
[Chorus]
I keep driving through this blacktop rain
Headlights drowning in a flood of blame
Every drop just carves your name
In the rust of my ribcage (yeah)
I keep driving
But I never leave
All these exits only circle me
If I make it home
Who will I be
When the storm runs out and you’re not here
[Verse 2]
Empty seat
Your crumpled coat
Still holds the shape of your laugh
Phone lights up
But I don't look
Can’t face the words I can’t take back
Guardrail flash
A silver grin
Dares me closer every bend
White lines split like everything
We swore that we wouldn't end
[Chorus]
I keep driving through this blacktop rain
Headlights drowning in a flood of blame
Every drop just carves your name
In the rust of my ribcage (oh)
I keep driving
But I never leave
All these exits only circle me
If I make it home
Who will I be
When the storm runs out and you’re not here
[Bridge]
Aquaplane heart
I slide
I slide (hey)
Between the past and suicide
Foot on the brake
Then on the gas
Praying for a sign that never lasts
Skid-mark prayers on the soaked asphalt
Every scream swallowed by the storm
If I vanish in this violent dark
Would you feel the wheel go cold
Alone
[Chorus]
I keep driving through this blacktop rain
Headlights drowning in a flood of blame
Every drop just carves your name
In the rust of my ribcage
I keep driving
But I never leave
All these exits only circle me
If I make it home
Will you still be
More than shadows on this midnight seat
