[Verse 1] Sunburn on my shoulders Cracked lips Car door squeaks Empty road One long mirage Gas light blinking at me Dust ghosts in the rearview Maps fade in the glove box You say "Trust me Keep on driving" Voice thin in the hot air [Chorus] Desert Sand and heat Every mile strips me clean Got nothing left to keep Just salt on my skin My skin Desert Sand and heat Burning through what I believed If I fall here on my knees Will this dry ground drink me in? [Verse 2] Old sign half-tilted Reads "motel" in peeled paint Swimming pool a cracked blue bowl Desert roses in the drain Your shadow runs beside me Long and sharp at six p.m You say "We could disappear" I taste dust instead of yes [Chorus] [Bridge] Sky bleeds rust at sundown Tires carve lines in the dune I don’t know where we’re headed But I’m running out of you Heat hums like a warning Air heavy Hard to breathe If I stay inside this silence It’ll bake me to the seat [Chorus]
