Harbor Lights in My Rearview

[Verse 1]

Suitcase open on the motel bed

Sunburned map with the corners curled

Got a keychain from that old marina

I keep spinning it

Like it could turn the world

Polaroids tucked in the visor

Cheap sunglasses

Crooked and worn

Every mile I chase feels wider

Every radio memory pulls me back to your shore

[Chorus]

Harbor lights in my rearview

Still shining on the road I choose

Rolling farther

But I feel you

Like salt still in my shoes

Every wave in the distance

Calls me by my name

I keep sailing through the dark

But I’m steering toward you just the same

Told me stories that I almost knew

Same old laughter

Different coastline

But the punchline always drifts right back to you

Postcard half-written on the counter

Ink starting to blur in the heat

I write “I’m fine” like an easy answer

But the truth is tangled up in every empty seat

[Chorus]

Harbor lights in my rearview

Still shining on the road I choose

Rolling farther

But I feel you

Like salt still in my shoes

Every wave in the distance

Calls me by my name

I keep sailing through the dark

But I’m steering toward you just the same

[Bridge]

Maybe I was always running

Just to circle back around (back around)

All these strangers

All this stunning

Can’t drown out that hometown sound (oh)

All these strangers

All this stunning

Can’t drown out that hometown sound (oh)

[Chorus]

Harbor lights in my rearview

Still shining on the road I choose

Rolling farther

But I feel you

Like salt still in my shoes

Every wave in the distance

Whispers you again

I keep sailing through the dark

Till your shoreline pulls me home again
