Verse 1 (Hook)

Headlights cut through a westbound rain,

Wipers keeping time with my breathing again.

Ocean on the left, trees on the right,

No place to hide on this road tonight.

Radio low, just a voice in the dark,

Every mile costing something real.

I packed my heart in the back of the car,

Thought I could leave it parked in the yard.

Verse 2

Last ferry gone, last town dim,

Streetlights blinking like they’re done with me.

I got your words in the rearview mirror,

Trying not to read them like they still mean more.

I learned how to go when staying hurt,

Learned how silence can do the worst.

Pre-Chorus

Funny how the quiet gets loud

When there’s nobody else around.

Chorus

I’m driving where the land runs out,

To outrun what I’m thinking about.

If love was enough, I’d be home by now,

But I keep both hands steady, eyes straight ahead.

I don’t need answers, I just need motion,

Headlights pulling me toward the ocean.

If I slow down, it all catches up,

So I keep driving till the road runs out.

Verse 3

Fog on the glass like a second skin,

Every thought finding its way back in.

We didn’t break, we just bent too far,

Some things don’t leave, they just change who you are.

Not every goodbye sounds like a fight,

Some just fade in the middle of the night.

Pre-Chorus

Funny how freedom feels this close

When it costs you the most.

Chorus

I’m driving where the land runs out,

To outrun what I’m thinking about.

If love was enough, I’d be home by now,

But I keep both hands steady, eyes straight ahead.

I don’t need answers, I just need motion,

Headlights pulling me toward the ocean.

If I slow down, it all catches up,

So I keep driving till the road runs out.

Bridge

Every road ends somewhere quiet,

Every heart learns what it can’t fix.

I’m not lost, I’m just not sure

Who I’ll be when I finally stop the car.

Final Chorus

I’m driving where the land runs out,

Past the maybes, past the doubt.

If there’s a line between then and now,

I’m crossing it with both hands down.

I don’t need saving, I just need space,

A little time I don’t have to waste.

When the water fills the windshield view,

I’ll know what I had to lose.

Outro

Engine humming.

Black sky wide.

I don’t turn back.

I let the tide decide
