[Verse 1] Dashboard glow on my face One hand loose on the wheel Other hand tapping the past Like I can change what I feel Exit signs flick like ghosts Old names, old scars, old scenes Talk to myself at the red light Ask what any of it means You said I drive like I’m running I said I’m just staying in lane But every mile marker I’m passing Reads like another old shame Silence louder than traffic Thoughts sharp as the lines Heart in the rearview watching Every promise I left behind [Chorus] Midnight on the divider Two lanes, one survivor I’m the driver, I’m the liar Burning up and driving quieter Eyes on the road, on fire Hands steady, soul tired If I crash into who I was Maybe I come out lighter [Verse 2] Rearview holds my reflection Jaw tight, eyes too wide Hear my father in my breathing “Boy, you never learned to arrive” I keep rehearsing confessions To people I’ll never call Imagining them forgiving me Like that fixes it all Gas light flirting with empty Same as my patience and trust I push the pedal a little Just to feel something adjust I only feel close to honest When it’s just asphalt and sky When nobody’s riding beside me To watch the way I lie [Chorus] Midnight on the divider Two lanes, one survivor I’m the driver, I’m the liar Burning up and driving quieter Eyes on the road, on fire Hands steady, soul tired If I crash into who I was Maybe I come out lighter
