Track Insight / Lyrics
Guitar pluck, soft drum kick, synth pads hum
Lonely dock at dawn, checkerboard tiles
My plane wheels kissing tarmac, another failed trial
Heat fades fast on summer skin, love's embers cold
Eighteen wheels of steel, my heart a lonely hold
Ferry horns wail a ghostly sigh, lone seagulls cry
I check the thrusters, fire up the engines dry
A phantom scent of diesel smoke, salted tears I've cried
This summer's broken promise, love that flew too high
Crossing time zones, canceling flights
Paper cutouts of lovers' faces, torn and torn the nights
Should've known the signs, the heat could never last
Faded summer love, the burn will never last
Heat fades fast on summer skin, love's embers cold
Eighteen wheels of steel, my heart a lonely hold
Ferry's final departure, leaving all I know
Riding out on wide blue seas, the memories will glow
School of fish leap from azure waves, champagne bubbles burst
Tattooed arms around a stranger's waist, a passing flirt
The sun sets, paints the sky in neon hues
A fleeting taste of paradise, but the hours still flew
Crossing time zones, canceling flights
Paper cutouts of lovers' faces, torn and torn the nights
Should've known the signs, the heat could never last
Faded summer love, the burn will never last
Heat fades fast on summer skin, love's embers cold
Eighteen wheels of steel, my heart a lonely hold
Ferry's final departure, leaving all I know
Riding out on wide blue seas, the memories will glow
In the city's uniform gray, I'll find my way
Through concrete streets and steel canyons, lost in day by day
But I'll hold on to this
flame the ghost of sunny nights
Four seasons spinning worlds away, but the dream's still alight
Heat fades fast on summer skin, love's embers cold
Eighteen wheels of steel, my heart a lonely hold
Ferry's final departure, leaving all I know
Riding out on wide blue seas, the memories will glow
Organ swell, synth fade to black, waves crash on the shore
