[Intro: Warm electric guitar arpeggio, brushed drums enter, synth pad swells, 8 bars] [Verse 1] Headlights cut the dark like a blade radio hums some old refrain steering wheel cold in my hands another town blurs through the rain [Pre-Chorus] then I saw it— a flicker in the glass steam rising from a cup someone just walked past [Chorus] you left your coat behind just like I left mine on a different bench in another life the road don't ask why it just keeps rolling by and I keep driving through the evening light [Inst: Bass groove holds, guitar lead echoes chorus melody, ambient riser fades in] [Verse 2] diner sign buzzes half-alive booth number three still warm receipt curled on the table edge name scribbled on the corner torn [Pre-Chorus] I almost stopped let the engine die pretend I knew your story pretend you’d wait outside [Chorus] you left your coat behind just like I left mine on a different bench in another life the road don't ask why it just keeps rolling by and I keep driving through the evening light [Bridge: Synth pad deepens, female vocals harmonize softly] sometimes the loneliest thing is seeing someone else’s almost a door held open for a ghost they used to know [Chorus] you left your coat behind was it on purpose this time? not on a bench but right here in my mind the road don’t lie it shows us what we hide so I keep driving with your shadow by my side [Outro: Guitar fade with gentle delay, synth pad decrescendo, brushed snare rolls out, 8 bars] MUSIC (+) UPLOAD LYRICS (+)
