Midnight chewing through the dash White lines bleeding underneath I've been running on a half-tank And something I don't wanna need Your shadow rides the passenger side Even when the seat is bare Every red light says to turn around Every green says you're still there I know better I know better Still my hands won't leave the wheel If this kills me Let it kill me At least I'll know that it was real So leave a light on Somewhere I can see I've been driving through the dead hours With the dark inside of me Leave a light on Don't let it disappear I can lose another lifetime Just don't let me lose you here Street signs flicker into ghosts Every exit looks the same I keep passing all the places Where I swore I'd change my ways There's a sickness in the wanting There's a comfort in the chase I could turn this car toward morning But morning doesn't have your face I know better I know better Still I push another mile If you're poison Pour it slowly I've been thirsty for a while So leave a light on Somewhere I can see I've been driving through the dead hours With the dark inside of me Leave a light on Don't let it disappear I can lose another lifetime Just don't let me lose you here Kill the headlights Kill the engine Let the whole damn city sleep No more white lines No more running No more promises to keep But if I close my eyes— There you are And I'm moving again ONE MORE MILE ONE MORE LIE ONE MORE NIGHT I DON'T ASK WHY BURN IT DOWN LET IT SHOW IF THERE'S NOTHING LEFT— I STILL GO Leave a light on Somewhere I can see I've been driving through the dead hours Now the dark is driving me Leave a light on Even if it's almost gone I've been chasing you forever Maybe chasing was the wrong Leave a light on Till there's nothing left to see If I never make it to you— Leave one burning there for me One light. One road. No morning. Still moving.
