[Verse 1] The clock on the dash is a glowing green fire, Burning the hours, burning the tires. I left all the static of the city behind, Looking for a rhythm I’ve been struggling to find. There’s a ghost in the passenger seat tonight, Made of old regrets and the passing light. Watch the yellow lines blurring into a stream, Waking up slowly from a ten-year dream. [Chorus] And the wind is a chorus, the road is a wire, Stretching on out past the doubt and the ire. I’m a coin in the dark, tossed up in the air, Coming down somewhere, I don't really care. Yeah, as long as the wheels keep spinning around, I’ll take the silence over the sound. [Verse 2] Passed a motel sign flashing a broken red, "Vacancy" blinking for a restless head. But I ain't stopping 'til the ocean appears, Or I completely run out of these gears. Got a pocket of chances that I never did spend, Waiting for the right kind of world to begin. Turn the radio dial but it’s all just snow, Guess the universe thinks I’ve got nowhere to go. [Chorus] But the wind is a chorus, the road is a wire, Stretching on out past the doubt and the ire. I’m a coin in the dark, tossed up in the air, Coming down somewhere, I don't really care. Yeah, as long as the wheels keep spinning around, I’ll take the silence over the sound. [Bridge] They say you can't outrun the things that you've done, That the moon always answers to the sins of the sun. They say you can’t heal if you just run away, But I’m feeling a little more alive today. Yeah, I’ve got a full tank and nothing to lose, Just the hum of the engine and these midnight blues. [Guitar Solo / Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Yeah, the wind is a chorus, the road is a wire, Stretching on out past the doubt and the ire. I’m a coin in the dark, tossed up in the air, Coming down somewhere, I don't really care. As long as the wheels keep spinning around, I’ll take the silence over the sound. [Outro] I'll take the silence. Just spinning around. Into the dark. Let the tires leave a mark. (Fade out on the hum of an engine and acoustic guitar chords)
