Heaven In The Headlights

Verse 1 We were static on the freeway Two hearts in a stolen car Windows down, we let the night play Every song like a shooting star You were laughing at the skyline Like it owed you something more I was hanging on your punchlines Like a kid outside the door Pre-Chorus We said, “We don’t need a map, just drive” Like forever was a Friday night With the world spinning out of sight Chorus We found heaven in the headlights Burning white against the dark Every wrong turn felt so right With your hand inside my heart We were golden for a moment Like forever couldn’t end Yeah, we found heaven in the headlights And we never looked back again Verse 2 Now the radio is silence Just the hum of what we lost Every mile’s a quiet violence Every memory double-crossed I still taste your cheap perfume Mixed with gasoline and rain All the promises we made Are just exits with no names Pre-Chorus We said, “We don’t need a plan, just run” Like we’d already won Like we’d never come undone Chorus We found heaven in the headlights Burning white against the dark Every wrong turn felt so right With your hand inside my heart We were reckless, we were endless We were more than just pretend Yeah, we found heaven in the headlights And we never looked back again Post-Chorus Oh-oh, oh-oh Blinding bright Oh-oh, oh-oh Friday night Bridge Maybe love is just a high beam Cutting through the midnight blue Maybe we were just a bright dream That the morning always knew But if I had one more red light One more chance to let it start I’d drive straight into the fire Just to feel you in the dark Breakdown (Soft) Heaven in the headlights Flickering and fading slow Still I see it every time Those white lines start to glow Final Chorus (Big) We found heaven in the headlights Burning brighter than the sun Every scar was just a highlight Of the damage we’d outrun If forever was a highway You were where it all begins Yeah, we found heaven in the headlights And I’d crash there all again Outro Oh-oh, oh-oh Blinding bright We found heaven in the headlights Every single Friday night.
