Track Insight / Lyrics
Gleaming headlights fade
Curtains of twilight drawn
Suburban gray shrinks back
Revealing secrets born
The old driveway's worn creases
Map veins of my runaway heart
Searing chrome, purple dusk
Memories playing start
Halogen pop like fireflies
Burning off the gasoline
Fading traffic hum of lies
Now it's just between us, oh
We've got the spark in the dark
Fires burning 'neath the stars
Beating to the rhythm of
Midnight wheels and bonfires
Sunken gardens, rusted gates
Living somewhere between
What we were and what we make
Of distant, fading defeat
We've got the spark in the dark
Fires burning 'neath the stars
Beating to the rhythm of
Midnight wheels and bonfires
Car horns, laughter, revving engines
Endless miles of open dreaming
My graffiti's fading fast
But neon underpasses flash
We're the paint on the pavement's
Worn-out portrait of escapin'
Halogen pop like fireflies
Burning off the gasoline
Fading traffic hum of lies
Now it's just between us, oh
We've got the spark in the dark
Fires burning 'neath the stars
Beating to the rhythm of
Midnight wheels and bonfires
Ghost towns, parking lot dreams
Highways we'll never reach
Two souls weaving through the scenes
Forever on the leap
We've got the spark in the dark
Fires burning 'neath the stars
Beating to the rhythm of
Midnight wheels and bonfires
As the city lights recede
And the night sky's velvet spread
In the rearview mirror's tease
We're the ghosts they've never read.
