Drive Night - xeom boi
Lyrics by：xeom boi
Composed by：xeom boi

I came from a town with only one stop light
Thought the stars were closer than the city signs
Met you by the window of a quiet cafe
You laughed at how I talked and how I said your name
You showed me all the places that you used to go
Rooftop parking lots and late night video shows
I tried to play it cool like people here all do
But every little moment felt too big and new
You were walking like you knew this place by heart
I was just a kid who did not know where to start
I still remember all those long drive nights
You at the wheel and me holding on too tight
You said I looked amazed at every single street
Like the whole world moved beneath my feet
Maybe I was never made for city rules
Always talking honest always feeling like a fool
But if I ever learned what falling feels like
It was in that small car under too much light
You would tease me when I stared at all the signs
Ask me why I smiled at ordinary lines
I said back home we never stayed out this late
You said that is why you left and why you could not wait
You liked how I stumbled finding words to say
How I wrote your number down the careful way
I thought keeping every ticket meant it had to last
You knew some stories only live inside the past
You were dreaming of a life beyond this year
I was just amazed that you were even here
I still remember all those long drive nights
You at the wheel and me holding on too tight
You said I looked amazed at every single street
Like the whole world moved beneath my feet
Maybe I was never made for city rules
Always talking honest always feeling like a fool
But if I ever learned what falling feels like
It was in that small car under too much light
Under too much light
Now I am back where every road is short and clean
Telling quiet stories of the things I have seen
Friends all say it sounds just like a movie scene
They do not know how simple it felt when you were with me
If I hear a song that played inside your car
I still see your profile underneath the passing stars
I am not bitter that we could not stay the same
I just keep your laughter with the city name
I still remember all those long drive nights
You at the wheel and me holding on too tight
Maybe you were always meant for brighter signs
I was just a boy in someone else's sky
Maybe I was never made for city rules
But I am grateful I could be your gentle fool
If I ever talk about the one that felt right
I will say I met her under too much light
