Verse 1]
3AM and I still can’t sleep
Too many thoughts keep choking me
Room dark, ceiling fan spins slow
Mind moves fast but my body froze
I got good friends that would ride for me
But somehow I still feel alone mentally
Tryna explain what’s inside my brain
But the words don’t come out the same
Everybody says “you’ll be alright”
But they don’t hear what I hear at night
It’s like my head got walls that close
And every bad thought echoes most
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanna scream but I can’t make sound
Feel like I’m inches from breaking down
Smile outside but inside I’m tired
Trying to fight my own mind every night
[Chorus]
So I take midnight drives through the city lights
Windows down while the cold air hit my face outside
Bass too loud, let the whole car shake
Tryna clear my mind before I fall away
Streetlights blur while my thoughts unwind
Lost in the dark tryna feel alive
No destination, just somewhere to breathe
‘Cause the road understands me better than me
[Verse 2]
Pressure buildin’ like a storm in my chest
Everybody sees me smile but they don’t see stress
I overthink every little thing I said
Then replay it all a thousand times in my head
And I hate how my mind turns small things big
One bad thought and it’s all I live with
Feels like I’m hanging right off the edge
Too exhausted to fight what’s in my head
But somehow the night air calms my soul
Engine hum while the city glow
For a minute everything slows down
And the silence don’t feel so loud
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m not broken after all
Maybe I just think too deep sometimes
Maybe healing isn’t fixing pain
Maybe it’s learning how to survive it
[Final Chorus]
So I take midnight drives through the city lights
Windows down while the cold breeze pass me by
808s shake every thought inside
Till the noise in my head finally goes quiet
And for a moment I feel okay
Like maybe I’ll find peace someday
Just me, the road, and the radio
Trying to outrun what nobody knows”
