Subway maps hum
1982 lines
Guiding me to 3am
A roadside diner booth
Silver chrome and vinyl seat
Pouring coffee, you take a seat
Across this Formica table
Where our futures splinter and jumble
In the neon haze Our hearts outpace
The hum of the highway
Where dreams mislay
Lost in the night
_between the forks and the lights_
Chasing the ghost highway
In a love so bright
Your fingers tracing maps
As I trace your hair
Scattered lines of longing
Entwined like a dare
In the neon haze Our hearts outpace
The hum of the highway
Where dreams mislay
Lost in the night
_between the forks and the lights_
Chasing the ghost highway
In a love so bright
Riding the wind whispers that say
We're just passing through
Leaving tomorrow's gray
For tonight's love anew
Lost in the night
_between the forks and the lights_
Chasing the ghost highway
In a love so bright
Coffee growing cold
Our laughter takes the road
As the diners empty out
Our highway's just me and you
