Engine hum
No destination
⸻
Dashboard lights across your eyes
City breathing after five
Paper cup between the seats
Your heartbeat, soft beneath the beat
Green turns yellow, yellow fades
Streetlights spill across your face
Neither one of us says much
The silence does enough
⸻
Every mile slows the night
Like the world forgot the time
⸻
Dashboard lights
Stay with me
Let the road decide the scene
Dashboard lights
Window down
Neon falling all around
Dashboard lights
Side by side
Nothing more to get tonight
⸻
Radio between two songs
Feels like where we both belong
Rain is drawing silver lines
On the edge of city signs
Your reflection in the glass
Comes and goes as cars go past
Every light that leaves the lane
Writes your outline in the rain
⸻
If this drive should disappear
Leave the headlights waiting here
Some goodbyes don’t need a sound
They just fade into this town
⸻
Dashboard lights
Hold the night
Keep it just before first light
Dashboard lights
Take it slow
There’s nowhere we have to go
Dashboard lights
Fade from sight
Still alive behind my eyes
⸻
Engine off
The dashboard dims
Your shadow leaves
The warmth remains
