Verse 1
You missed the exit talking with your hands
The dashboard clock was glowing 2:13
Somewhere between the city and the water
We started saying things we didn’t mean
The radio kept losing its station
Every mile felt slightly off the map
You laughed and said we’d figure it out later
Like later was a place we’d both get back
Pre-Chorus
The signs kept changing
The road kept bending
Neither of us asked where we were going
Chorus
Just streetlights
Flashing across your face
On and off, on and off
Like you couldn’t decide
Streetlights
Turning the windows gold
Then gone, then gone
Before I could read your eyes
We kept driving
Like movement meant we were alright
Just streetlights
Verse 2
The gas station coffee tasted awful
You bought it anyway to stay awake
The sky was getting lighter in the distance
The kind of blue that only comes too late
I remember every little detail
The brand of cigarettes behind the glass
Funny how a night can last forever
And disappear completely at the same time
Pre-Chorus
The lane lines faded
The morning waited
Neither of us wanted it to find us
Chorus
Just streetlights
Flashing across your face
On and off, on and off
Like you couldn’t decide
Streetlights
Turning the windows gold
Then gone, then gone
Before I could read your eyes
We kept driving
Like movement meant we were alright
Bridge
Now every city looks a little different
Every highway has another name
But sometimes when I’m half asleep
I swear I’m back inside that car again
Waiting for the moment
When I should’ve said something
Final Chorus
Streetlights
Flashing across your face
On and off, on and off
Like a warning sign
Streetlights
Turning the windows gold
Then gone, then gone
Like they were running out of time
We kept driving
Thinking the road would choose for us
Just streetlights
And a hundred chances
Passing by
