Echoes On The Overpass

[Verse 1] Late train Plastic seats Humming air Phone screen on my knees Names I don’t tap Glass glare City turns to smear and smear Your face in the window Then it fades back black [Pre-Chorus] I rewind the night Till the colors bend Every little word Playing back again [Chorus] I still hear you in the echo on the overpass Calling through the static of the traffic as it rushes past Every distant headlight Pulls me through the same past I still hear you in the echo on the overpass (so far, so close) [Verse 2] Cheap ring In the tray by the sink Takeout on the counter Going cold again Blue tint On the wall where your shirt Used to hang like a flag Of a place I’ve been [Pre-Chorus] I rewind your laugh Till it starts to blur Every almost-touch Every almost-word [Chorus] I still hear you in the echo on the overpass Calling through the static of the traffic as it rushes past Every distant headlight Pulls me through the same past I still hear you in the echo on the overpass (so far, so close) [Bridge] If I drive that road Till the fuel runs dry Will you step from the shadow Of some exit sign If I close my eyes Let the skyline bend Will I fall through the flicker Back to you again [Chorus] I still hear you in the echo on the overpass Calling through the static of the traffic as it rushes past Every distant headlight Pulls me through the same past I still hear you in the echo on the overpass (so far, so close) (so far, so close)
