driveway

Streetlights painting lines on glass

Night's still warm, letting hours pass

Hands on the wheel, phone in my lap

Heart in the glovebox, mind on the past

Messages written I'll never send

Breathing you in like it's oxygen

Silence in stereo, I wait for a sign

But the radio's playing old lies

Counting the cracks in the pavement stone

Wondering why I can't just let you go

Rearview full of what if and when

Hoping you'd notice, waiting again

Breathing slow, windows fogged in the dark

Scrolling your name, can't hit restart

Letting the engine idle in low

Trying to move on, but I can't let it go

Driveway, still can't leave

Driveway, stuck on repeat

Headlights off, but I'm not home

Sitting in the silence, all alone

Driveway, keep me here

Keep me here, keep me here

Neighbors inside with their curtains drawn

I'm just a shadow the night moves on

Ashtray full, but the air's still sweet

Another hour parked in this old front seat

I try to remember the day it changed

Engine idling, nothing's the same

Letting the memories stall in the air

Leaving's so easy, but I'm still there

Counting the cracks in the pavement stone

Wondering why I can't just let you go

Rearview full of what if and when

Hoping you'd notice, waiting again

Breathing slow, windows fogged in the dark

Scrolling your name, can't hit restart

Letting the engine idle in low

Trying to move on, but I can't let it go

Driveway, still can't leave

Driveway, stuck on repeat

Headlights off, but I'm not home

Sitting in the silence, all alone

Driveway, keep me here

Keep me here, keep me here

I circle the block just to start again

Afraid of the ending, scared to begin

Street's getting empty, hours slip by

Watching reflections in red tail lights
