2AM, quiet highway Rain taps heavy on the roof Street signs blur through tired eyes Guess I’m running from the truth Meter ticking like my chest Heavy silence in my breath You don’t push, you don’t pry Just a glance through the mirror And I don’t know why But it’s easier to speak in here Midnight taxi, just keep driving slow Don’t ask questions I don’t know Rearview catching everything I hide You just drive… you just drive Midnight taxi, nowhere left to run Feels like I’ve been everyone Tell me, does it get less heavy with time? Or do we just learn how to survive? Told you ’bout the dreams I dropped Told you how I fake a smile Told you how I say “I’m good” Even when it’s been a while Said I’m tired of being strong When I don’t feel strong at all You said, “Life don’t come with maps Just miles and second chances Sometimes healing ain’t a fix, It’s just small advances.” Midnight… take me through it Let the engine steady my mind Midnight… I’m still moving Even when I feel behind Midnight… take me through it take me through it Midnight… take me through it Midnight… take me through it Midnight… take me through it Midnight… take me through it Midnight… take me through it Midnight… take me through it we just learn how to survive Midnight… If I told you I’m afraid Midnight… Of becoming who I am Midnight… Would you say that’s just the cost Of growing up too fast? You said, “Kid, you’re still breathing That’s already more than most.” And somehow that felt like hope. Midnight taxi, just keep driving slow Don’t ask questions I don’t know Rearview catching everything I hide You just drive… you just drive Midnight taxi, nowhere left to run Feels like I’ve been everyone Tell me, does it get less heavy with time? Or do we just learn how to survive? Meter stops. Door clicks. “Take care, kid.”
