[Verse 1] Headlights cut the endless night, Your hand once fit in mine just right. We burned too fast, ignored the signs, Missed the turns between the lines. Every mile repeats our song, The one that played when love felt strong. Now it fades through static air, Ghosts still sitting in the chair. [Pre-Chorus] Rearview full of what I lost, Freedom always comes with cost. [Chorus] On the highway — where we lost control, Chasing fire that took its toll. Every bump, another fight, Every curve, another night. Now I ride with open eyes, No more tears, no more disguise. On the highway — I finally see, The road was always leading me. [Verse 2] We raced through rain, through city glow, Tried to fix what couldn’t go. Gas too hard, the brakes too late, Love turned red beneath the weight. I pass the spot where we once kissed, Another exit I won’t miss. Freedom hums beneath the tires, Ashes cooling from old fires. [Pre-Chorus] Rearview full of what I lost, Freedom always comes with cost. [Chorus] On the highway — where we lost control, Chasing fire that took its toll. Every bump, another fight, Every curve, another night. Now I ride with open eyes, No more tears, no more disguise. On the highway — I finally see, The road was always leading me. [Bridge] Maybe peace was never still, Maybe motion breaks the will. I don’t need a map to stay, I find myself along the way. [Final Chorus – normal reprise] On the highway — where we lost control, Chasing fire that took its toll. Every bump, another fight, Every curve, another night. Now I ride with open eyes, No more tears, no more disguise. On the highway — I finally see, The road was always leading me. [Final Chorus – uplift version] On the highway — lights in the rain, Every ending sounds the same. On the highway — I let it go, The wind still hums what I used to know. On the highway — I’m breaking free, The line ahead belongs to me. I’m not lost, I’m where I’ll be — The road’s the only home for me. [Outro] Highway — fade to grey, Still I drive, I drive away.
