[Verse 1 – intimate, conversational] you said “can you come?” I said “yeah I’m outside already” didn’t really think twice about it just grabbed a bag and went you looked like you’d been holding your breath all day like you forgot you were doing it I said “put me on the motorway playlist” and you laughed like that helped something [Pre-Chorus – soft lift, spacious] we didn’t talk much at first just let the road do what it does then you said her name and everything got softer in the car [Chorus – warm, open, flowing] we might miss a turn we might stay quiet too long we might end up saying things we didn’t plan on there’s gas still in the tank we’re not in a rush for anything I don’t know what this fixes but it’s doing something and if we’re late, we’re late it’s still alright [Verse 2 – grounded, reflective] you told me she’s been tired more not in a dramatic way just less of her in the voice I didn’t know what to say to that so I just nodded and kept driving we stopped once for coffee that tasted like nothing and you said “this used to be our whole town” like it meant something I couldn’t reach [Pre-Chorus – restrained] radio half on, half gone your head against the window I didn’t try to fill it it didn’t need me to [Chorus – warm, steady return] we might miss a turn we might stay quiet too long we might end up saying things we didn’t plan on there’s gas still in the tank we’re not in a rush for anything I don’t know what this fixes but it’s doing something and if we’re late, we’re late it’s still alright [Bridge – intimate, emotional focus] she told you not to rush like she can feel the road from there I’ve been thinking about what it means to arrive while things are still changing so I’m not rehearsing anything I’m just going in [Break – spoken feel] no big plan just show up that’s all it is [Final Chorus – fuller, slightly lifted] we might miss a turn we might stay quiet too long we might end up saying things we didn’t plan on there’s gas still in the tank we’re not in a rush for anything I don’t know what this fixes but it’s doing something and if we’re late, we’re late it’s still alright [Outro – very soft, intimate] door opens she says my name I don’t rush it, I just stay hold her hand no big lines we made it—right on time
