Track Insight / Lyrics
Headlights painting pictures of a life I missed
Miles piling up, like carelessly tossed gravel
In the rearview, a surreal reminder of where I've been
Only forward's the path where I can find some new light again
Heart racing, nostrils flaring, I'm mixing up my highs
Ghosts and glimmers of the past fueling every solo ride
Want to outrun these memories, break free from these chains
But the farther I go, they only seem to recharge and remain
Neon atoms, spinning wheels, both hands on the wheel
Driving blind with my eyes wide open, the pedal to the steel
I'm electrified, neon-lit, floating through the night
Never looking back, never losing sight of the light
Whispers on the radio, a familiar syncopated beat
Each mile marker unlatches a memory, a snapshot on repeat
Love notes scribbled on a receipt, the scent of your perfume
Echoes of how we used to dream, what our future would assume
Heart skipping a beat, I'm blinking back the flood
Every mile a step away, but still these ghosts are still allowed
In the passenger seat, I feel your phantom presence slide in
These late night city drives, they keep us intertwined
Neon atoms, spinning wheels, both hands on the wheel
Driving blind with my eyes wide open, the pedal to the steel
I'm electrified, neon-lit, floating through the night
Never looking back, never losing sight of the light
In the hills of neon, where the city meets the darkness
I am lost in the light, in the rhythm, the pulse and spark
Of a thousand worlds colliding, where the heartbeats never falter
My destination's the horizon, where every shadow starts to shelter
Neon atoms, spinning wheels, both hands on the wheel
Driving blind with my eyes wide open, the pedal to the steel
I'm electrified, neon-lit, floating through the night
Never looking back, never losing sight of the light
Neon atoms, chasing shadows on the drive
In the rearview, a surreal reminder of where I've been
Only forward's the path, where I can find some new light again
