Neon After Midnight

Streetlights flirt with my windshield

I'm crawling through the rain

After last words in the rearview

Still feeling resting again

Your jacket's on the backseat

Your perfume in the air

I keep reaching for a handshake

From a memory that isn't there

Hairy red light gives me time to remember

How our summer turned to smoke by December

I was calling your name, you were already gone

Now the silence in the cabin keeps me moving on

Driving alone

After the final argument

Watching the love fade out

Like a neon sign that can't stay lit

Every mouth says, listen down

But we had one breath

But I found some strength in his eyes

And I'm not looking back

I'm driving alone

Heart heavy but free

But the city lights above me

And the night carrying me

We were bright for a moment

Then the edges came apart

Two hands on the same wheel

With a split down and metal heart

I replay every apology

Every line I should've said

But the road keeps taking me forward

Out of the wreckage in my head

Every bridge I cross feels like a lesson

How to let go without begging for a blessing

I was holding on tight to a love turned cold

Now I get my own breath and it's teaching me to go

I ran alone after the final argument

Watching our love fade out like a neon sign that can't stay lit

Every mile says the same thing

What we had won't last

But I found some strength in the silence

And I'm not looking back

I'm driving alone

Heart heavy but free

With the city lights above me

And the night caddy in me

And the hush between the hunks and the sirens

Beckoning my own truth rising

If love is gone, I'll let it go

The empty road is where I learn to know

Driving alone

After the final argument

Letting go of the ghost of us

With every breath I give

I'm faded in the dark

Can't follow me past

I found some strength in the silence

And I'm not looking back

I′m driving alone

Heart heavy but free

But the state lies above me

In the night

Carry a ring

Yeah I'm driving alone

And I′m finally learning how to be
