[Verse]
The wipers blur the taillights red
Your silhouette fades
A ghost instead
Raindrops fall
They spell your name
Every mile feels like a flame
[Chorus]
Rain on the highway
You're slipping away
The better half of my heart can't stay
The wheels keep turning
The night grows cold
But this distance cuts deeper than roads unfold
[Verse 2]
Your laughter echoes
A faint perfume
In the empty car
There's so much room
Every goodbye feels heavier still
Like climbing a mountain against my will
[Prechorus]
I count the hours
I curse the skies
Your face a shadow behind my eyes
[Chorus]
Rain on the highway
You're slipping away
The better half of my heart can't stay
The wheels keep turning
The night grows cold
But this distance cuts deeper than roads unfold
[Bridge]
What’s a love that spans the miles
If it’s built on borrowed smiles
I’ll chase the rain
I’ll chase the dark
To bring you back
To heal this heart
