[Verse 1]
Engine light on
Red glow on the dash, I’m coastin'
Half a tank, heavy heart, both broken
Mud on my boots, same jeans, same token
Of every time I swore I was leavin' this town
And still stayed, still stayed around
[Chorus]
My check engine heart keeps flashin'
But I push that pedal to the floor
Got this worn-out soul still crashin'
Into you like I did before
If I stall out in your driveway, baby, that’s my sign
Check engine heart, but I’m tryin' one more time
[Verse 2]
Half-rap talkin' to the rearview, [low vocal register] I confess
You in that hoodie, bare feet, big mess
We were scream-talk, door-slam, wild kind of bless
Now it’s silence, just the click of the turn
And my pride, and this ride, and the burn
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] All these warning signs keep blinkin'
But I’d rather break down than stop thinkin' ’bout you
[guitar solo]
Full tank, full throat, I’m callin' your name
If I die on this road, I’ll die in that flame
[Chorus]
