From Shaking To Flying

[Verse 1]
Hands on the wheel
Heart in the past
Same old exit
Driving too fast
Your ghost riding
In shotgun silence
Radio humming
Every old violence
[Pre-Chorus]
But then that sunrise caught my rearview
Painted everything a softer hue
If I can leave this town behind me
Maybe I can leave you too
[Chorus]
I went from shaking to flying
From stuck to highway wide
From every word you left unsaid
To singing windows down tonight
I thought my story ended
On the day you said goodbye
But every mile I keep on driving
I go from shaking to flying
[Verse 2]
Suitcase open
On the backseat
Your worn-out sweater
Falling at my feet
Pulled to the shoulder
Almost turned around
Then a calm like summer
Just settled me down
[Pre-Chorus]
Because the sky don’t ask permission
When it turns that perfect blue
If I can breathe in this new morning
I can learn to breathe from you
[Chorus]
I went from shaking to flying
From stuck to highway wide
From every word you left unsaid
To singing windows down tonight
I thought my story ended
On the day you said goodbye
But every mile I keep on driving
I go from shaking to flying
[Bridge]
Maybe love was just a lesson
Maybe loss became the guide (oh-oh)
All that weight I kept on carrying
Falls off with every line of sky
[Chorus]
I went from shaking to flying
From stuck to highway wide
From crying in that empty bed
To laughing at the porch-lights
I thought my story ended
On the day you said goodbye
But now my heart is done with hiding
Yeah every mile I keep on driving
I go from shaking to flying (flying)
