Lyrics
[Verse 1] You said meet me late At the corner store Paper cup in your hand And your key in the door I rolled up slow With the windows down Your laugh hit first Then the whole town drowned [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, stay close Don't let it fade We got this road And the night we made Your voice on my skin Like a spark in the dark Take my hand now Let's not fall apart [Chorus] After hours drive Keep me alive After hours drive You know I come back When the world goes quiet And your name rings back After hours drive After hours drive [Verse 2] Now your jacket's on The backseat frame Fast food bag And a scratched-out name You sing that line With the cracked-up truth My heart kept time When I found you [Pre-Chorus] Hold on, stay close Don't let it fade We got this road And the night we made Your voice on my skin Like a spark in the dark Take my hand now Let's not fall apart [Chorus] After hours drive Keep me alive After hours drive You know I come back When the world goes quiet And your name rings back After hours drive After hours drive [Bridge] If the dawn comes hard We'll outrun that gray One more mile Then we drift away I rise in your light You pull me in Say it again And I’ll start again [Final Chorus] After hours drive Keep me alive After hours drive You know I come back When the world goes quiet And your name rings back After hours drive After hours drive
