[Intro] Instrumental guitar [Verse 1] Streetlights moving across my face Your memory follows me from place to place I hear your name in the radio noise Turn it down, but I hear your voice Cold hands resting on the wheel Tell me why it still feels real Every mile should set me free But your shadow keeps chasing me [Pre-Chorus] I breathe in I breathe out Your silence is so loud [Chorus] I’m caught in the afterglow Holding on, then letting go Your shadow moves beneath my skin I lose myself, then start again No way back, no place to hide I hear your voice on every drive The night is dark, the road is mine I leave your memory behind [Post-Chorus] Behind… behind… I leave your memory behind Behind… behind… Tonight, the road is mine [Verse 2] Red lights burning in the rain Every turn brings back the pain Your goodbye is a fading sound But some nights it comes around I was living inside your flame Now the fire forgets my name I won’t wait for the past to change I’m moving on, I’m breaking away [Pre-Chorus] I breathe in I breathe out I won’t turn around [Chorus] I’m caught in the afterglow Holding on, then letting go Your shadow moves beneath my skin I lose myself, then start again No way back, no place to hide I hear your voice on every drive The night is dark, the road is mine I leave your memory behind [Instrumental Break] Guitar and synth call-and-response [Bridge] Let it fall Let it fade I won’t carry yesterday Let it burn Let it die I’m still here I’m still alive [Final Chorus] I’m leaving the afterglow No more holding on—let it go Your shadow’s fading from my skin Tonight my life begins again No way back, no need to hide I found myself on this midnight drive The night is dark, the road is mine I leave your memory behind [Outro] Behind… behind… The road is mine tonight Behind… behind… I’m still alive
