[Intro] [Verse 1] Half past midnight, last one home Dropped the office crew, their porch lights shrinking Radio keeps losing its one station Every bend on this road looks like the last bend [Pre-Chorus] I turn my head to the right Someone's sitting where my jacket was [Hook] Please get out of my car Hair like smoke, face like chalk I say it plain, I say it twice You don't answer, you don't go [Verse 2] So I start the only prayer I know I believe in God, the Father almighty The air turns cold as the inside of a cave My voice comes back a half-beat late (late) It doesn't sound like mine (mine) [Pre-Chorus] I don't turn my head to the right I already know who's sitting there [Hook] Whatever you are, get out Not a question now, a creed Cold folds over every word I say You don't answer, you don't leave [Bridge] Maker of heaven and earth The resurrection of the body And life everlasting (everlasting) And the road keeps turning [Hook] Rancho Bridge slides under the wheels The cold lifts off like a hand from my shoulder I never said get out again The seat is empty, and I drive on home [Outro] Somewhere behind me a headlight finds the first bend Half past midnight, someone's almost home The seat to the right is waiting (waiting)
