[Verse 1] End of the day Helmet on Lines blur Two weeks from a white dress Still tasting the church wine we picked Headlights fold in Wrong lane Wrong time Metal screams Sky flips Tarmac rushing up like a wave [Pre-Chorus] Then arms and leather vests Boots scraping gravel dust Voices shouting “Stay with us” I’m breathing rust I’m breathing rust [Chorus] But I’m calling out “Carol” Only name my mouth can hold I don’t care about the sirens Or the pain that’s burning cold I’m lying in the roadside dark Trying not to let go And every breath is “Carol Carol Carol” [Verse 2] Chrome bent like paper Blood in my eyes Someone’s shaking my shoulder Saying “Man Just look at the sky” I’m counting down heartbeats Like days on a wall Wedding ring on layaway I just want to make that call [Pre-Chorus] Leather angels ring around Hands pressed where the red runs out They say “You’re gonna be alright” But there’s one thing I’m screaming about [Chorus] I keep calling out “Carol” Only map I’ve ever known If this is where the road ends Let it end with me going home I’m broken in the flashing lights Still reaching through the smoke Every breath is “Carol Carol Carol” [Bridge] I don’t see the car I don’t see the road I see your dress hanging On the back of our door I don’t feel the gravel I don’t feel the cold I feel your hand in mine Like I’m already home (yeah) [Chorus] So I’m calling out “Carol” Like a flare into the dark If my body comes apart now Hold together my heart If I only get this one more chance Before the world lets go Let me say your name “Carol Carol Carol” [Outro] Blue lights fading Engines low I’m still whispering “Carol” Till they tell me “You’re going home”
