[Intro]
Late night drive
Dashboard glow on my face
Your name in my phone
Like a message from space (yeah)
[Verse 1]
Empty road, empty seat
But I still hear you laugh in the AC
Wind so loud, I can’t think
Or maybe that’s me, talking to the windshield
Red eyes, blue signs
All these little ghosts in the white lines
If I close mine, do I finally
Get to see you how I see you in my night mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Every exit sign
Feels like one more chance
Turn around, go home
Or just press the gas
If I hit that curve
Would it make this stop?
Or would I just prove
What you said I was?
[Chorus]
Late night drive, thinking of you
Hands on the wheel, but it’s you that I’m holding onto
Late night drive, what do I do?
Do I slam the brakes or speed straight through?
If I crash right now, would you even cry?
Would you wake up once to ask me why?
Late night drive, thinking of you
Late night drive, wondering if I should
[Verse 2]
Empty cup in the back
Like the day that you left, still intact
Playlist still saves your tracks
Skip them every time, but they crawl back
I replay that fight
Word for word against the streetlight
You said, “You’re gonna break yourself”
Guess you knew I’d test that line
[Pre-Chorus]
Every yellow light
Feels like your reply
“Maybe slow it down”
Echoes in my mind
Finger on your name
Hover, then I slide
Airplane mode again
Guess I’d rather hide
[Chorus]
Late night drive, thinking of you
Hands on the wheel, but it’s you that I’m holding onto
Late night drive, what do I do?
Do I slam the brakes or speed straight through?
If I crash right now, would you even cry?
Would you wake up once to ask me why?
Late night drive, thinking of you
Late night drive, wondering if I should
[Bridge]
What if I turn back now? (turn back now)
Would you even hear me out? (hear me out)
Or am I just burning out, burning out
On a road that never found you
Headlights flicker like my faith
Every thought of you’s a blade
But if I’m gone you’ll never say
“All this time, I felt the same”
[Chorus]
Late night drive, thinking of you
Hands on the wheel, but it’s you that I’m holding onto
Late night drive, what do I do?
Do I slam the brakes or speed straight through?
If I crash right now, would you even cry?
Would you wake up once to ask me why?
Late night drive, thinking of you
Late night drive, wondering if I should
[Outro]
Late night drive
Slow it down, don’t die
Pulling over on the side
Just to let you leave my mind (just this time)
