2 AM Highway Run

(Car door shuts, engine starts up) Yeah...

turning off the notifications...

Just need a second to breathe...

Key in the ignition,

dashboard lights glowing green

Staring through the windshield,

trying to wash the slate clean

City in the rearview,

shrinking in the dark Driving down the highway,

searching for a spark Too many voices in the room,

too much noise Tired of the drama and the fake-hearted boys Press

down on the pedal,

let the engine roar high Floating under streetlights beneath the midnight sky

I’m sick of all the damn lies they throw in my face

Trying to stay grounded in a hell of a place

At 2 AM on the empty road

Trying to unload this heavy load

Speeding past the signs,

leaving thoughts behind Just trying to clear out a crowded mind

Yeah, nobody calling, nobody in the passenger seat

Just me and the beat,

making the getaway complete Yeah,

2 AM on the empty road

Finally letting all the weight go

Windows down, cold air hitting my face

Running from the pressure,

running out of this place They want me to be somebody that

I’m not

While I’m fighting every battle with the hands I got

Past mistakes blurry like the lines on the lane

Turning up the volume just to drown out the pain It's a

bitch when you're fighting all these demons alone Cold heart sitting on

a broken-down throne Tired of the fucking noise,

I’m locking in now Mile after mile,

watching shadows fade away

Chasing down the peace until the breaking of the day

At 2 AM on the empty road

Trying to unload this heavy load

Speeding past the signs,

leaving thoughts behind Just trying to clear out a crowded mind Yeah,

nobody calling, nobody in the passenger seat

Just me and the beat,

making the getaway complete Yeah,

2 AM on the empty road

Finally letting all the weight go

Yeah...

just

me and the

road... Leaving it all behind...

(Music fades out into quiet tire hum)
