[Verse 1] The highway's empty past midnight Just me and the dashboard light I've been carrying ghosts for miles Trying to bury them in the white lines Every town looks the same now Every drink just burns going down I keep telling myself I'm fine But the mirror keeps calling me out [Verse 2] I got a pocket full of bad decisions And a heart full of old collisions Everybody wants a piece of me Till there's nothing left to bleed The radio plays another sad song About where the good things go wrong And I sing along like I wrote every word Even when it hurts [Bridge] [clean guitar] Maybe heaven's not that far away Maybe I'm just looking the wrong way [Pre-Chorus] I've been chasing something I can't name Running circles in the rain [Chorus] Raise a glass to the nights we survived To the scars that kept us alive To the dreams that slipped away And the ones that still remain If I'm standing on the edge tonight Don't let me disappear into the light I've come too far to fade away Too much left to say [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh We're still here Oh-oh Through the smoke and fear [Bridge] [distorted guitar swell] Every saint has a little sin Every loser still wants to win Every broken heart still beats Even underneath defeat [Verse 3] The city glows like a warning sign But I keep driving through the night Looking for a place that feels like home Or at least less alone [Verse 4] I've seen angels wearing black And good men never coming back I've learned some wounds never heal But they're still real [Buildup] Heartbeat heavy Engine screaming Streetlights blur into a line One more mile One more try One more reason not to die inside [Beat Drop] [heavy guitars] [crashing drums] Raise 'em high Raise 'em high For the ones still fighting tonight [Verse 5] Maybe tomorrow changes nothing Maybe tomorrow changes me Either way the sun comes up And that's enough to see [Verse 6] I'm done running from the wreckage Done hiding from the truth The past can keep its memories I've got something left to lose [Bridge] [half-time drums] The road gets dark before the dawn That's not a reason to be gone [Pre-Chorus] I've been chasing something I can't name Running circles in the rain [Chorus] Raise a glass to the nights we survived To the scars that kept us alive To the dreams that slipped away And the ones that still remain If I'm standing on the edge tonight Don't let me disappear into the light I've come too far to fade away Too much left to say [Post-Chorus] Oh-oh We're still here Oh-oh Through the smoke and fear [Bridge] [clean guitar fading] Maybe heaven's not a place above Maybe it's the people that you love [Outro] The highway's empty, morning's near The ghosts are quieter this year And for the first time in a while I don't mind the miles.
