Leftover Light

It's three past midnight on a rusty tailgate

Under stadium leftovers of gold and gray

You hit skip on the track we used to play

But the shared playlist is still shining on your screen

And you only

call when the world goes quiet

When the headlights fade and the crowd runs dry

We're a beautiful song

that you keep on mute

Just a name on a screen under midnight sky (ohhh)

Ah-ah-ah,

we left it on the edge Ah-ah-ah,

a promise unsaid

Your headlights cut

through the gravel and dust

Leaving everything we built to turn to rust

You're the late-night shadow I used to trust

Now just a skip-button memory in the dark

And you only

call when the world goes quiet

When the headlights fade and the crowd runs dry

We're a beautiful song that you keep on mute

Just a name on a screen under midnight sky (ohhh)
