[Intro] Streetlights flicker like they’re tired too Dashboard glow, just me and the truth Phone face-down like it’s got weight I keep it there so I don’t cave [Verse 1] I took the long way home again Past the places we said we’d “never end” There’s a hoodie on the passenger seat Still smells like you, still smells like me I replay things I shouldn’t replay Your last words keep cutting both ways And I laugh like it’s nothing at all But I feel it when I slow down [Pre-Chorus] And I almost reach for the light Almost break in the night But I know what it starts if I do So I breathe and I let it pass through [Chorus] I won’t call you back tonight I won’t drag us into the light If it hurts, then let it be right I won’t call you back tonight No, I won’t call you back tonight [Verse 2] City moves like it doesn’t care Couples laughing in the corner air I turn the radio just to fill the space But every song still says your name in place You said “we’re fine,” but we weren’t close I guess we both already know Some things don’t need a final scene They just fade between the in-between [Pre-Chorus] And I feel it rising again That pull like a missing friend But I don’t want to restart the pain So I let your number remain [Chorus] I won’t call you back tonight I won’t drag us into the light If it hurts, then let it be right I won’t call you back tonight No, I won’t call you back tonight [Bridge] Maybe tomorrow I’ll miss you less Maybe I’ll clean up this mess But right now I need the distance to grow Even if it’s the only thing I know So I drive till the feeling gets thin Till your voice stops living under my skin And I don’t need a reason why Just the space to say goodbye [Final Chorus] I won’t call you back tonight I won’t chase what doesn’t feel right If it breaks me, I’ll be alright I won’t call you back tonight I won’t call you back tonight I won’t call you back tonight [Outro] Phone still dark on the seat beside Road keeps moving, so do I And for the first time in a while Silence doesn’t feel like denial
