Track Insight / Lyrics
You rifle through your pockets, trying to recall
The number scrawled on a receipt, a piece of flimsy all
To whoever's inside the diner booth
You hope is worth your while and keeps the courage to spit out
These late night confessionals amidst the static din
You're a key without a door, so full of promise, oh
Listening to the hum of wheels
you start to feel it though
This restless wanderlust that sets the heart alight
A midnight charm, elusive and bright
In the booth across, a couple barely touches
A stolen glance of yearning for
something other than this grey gray rush
Through a town that whispers secrets to the neon signs
Dreams that shimmer like a mirage, then vanish in the night's thin skies
The city's a stage, and the showcase draws to close soon
Maybe this late night chat could change your tune
You're a key without a door, so full of promise, oh
Listening to the hum of wheels
you start to feel it though
This restless wanderlust that sets the heart alight
A midnight charm, elusive and bright
And the highway's serenade of constant motion keeps the demons at bay
Though the road ahead's an endless
competition you just want to sway
With the rhythm and the hum, the pulse of life moving on
So deep in thought, you almost miss the dawn
When the diner's lights flicker out and the city's heartbeat slows
And the solitude between two strangers starts to show
You're a key without a door, so full of promise, oh
Listening to the hum of wheels, you start to feel it though
This restless wanderlust that sets the heart alight
A midnight charm, elusive and bright
You make a wish on civic coin, to find where you truly belong
With each passing mile, you know you're getting strong
This key within though it may
not find its door just yet
Keeps searching, keeps restless, 'til the ride is set
You've got the road, the night, the open sky to roam
Freedom in the hum of wheels, setting you back home
(Outro)
