[verse 1] [Rough Male Voice] Started in the city where the streetlights burn cold Two hearts full of questions, one story to fold Threw our bags in the trunk, didn't plan where to go Just followed every instinct on a road we don't know Checked-engine light blinkin', still we didn't stop Half a tank of courage and a mix-tape on lock Passed a hundred small towns where we never belong Every mile felt like music, every corner a song You said "maybe we get lost and we never come back" I said "baby, with you I don't fear what I lack" Radio static turned to something divine In that old battered car you were perfectly mine [Hook] It's a long road, but I'd drive it again Every wrong turn brought me closer to you in the end Long road, got the pedal and the stars overhead Love ain't a destination — it's the miles we thread Long road... long road... With you beside me, I'm already home [solo] [Verse 2][Rough Male Voice] Desert turned to forest, coast turned to plains We learned each other's silences through sunshine and rains Broke down in Nevada, waited three hours right there You laughed so loud the canyon threw it back in the air Bought gas station roses, faded petals and all Said they matched your spirit — wild, stubborn, and tall Old motels with neon signs half-blink in the night Your hand across the gearshift felt like everything right I've been running from something since I don't know when But running feels different when it's running toward them You rewired my compass, now it only points one way Doesn't matter where we end up — I just need you today [Hook][Rough Male Voice] It's a long road, but I'd drive it again Every wrong turn brought me closer to you in the end Long road, got the pedal and the stars overhead Love ain't a destination — it's the miles we thread Long road... long road... With you beside me, I'm already home [Bridge][Rough Male Voice] Maybe we never arrive Maybe that was always the point Two people, one engine, one life Every crossroads just one more joint In the road that holds our name Carved in asphalt, wind, and flame [solo] [Outro][Rough Male Voice] Miles behind us... miles ahead... Every road leads back to you Doesn't matter where we're going Long as I got you
