The Map and the Mug

[Intro]
[Verse]
Blue neon flickers on the dash
The highway is a purple flash
You are sleeping in the passenger seat
While the engine hums a steady beat
The map is crumpled on the floor
We do not need it anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
The coffee is cold inside my hand
Across this stretch of quiet land
I am watching how the shadows play
In a brand new kind of way
[Chorus]
It is a long way home
But I am not alone
Just a word I have not said
Spinning circles in my head
Is it love or just the road?
Keeping up this heavy load
In the yellow glow
Of the radio
[Verse]
The mug is chipped around the rim
The dashboard lights are getting dim
We have shared a thousand miles
Hiding behind our easy smiles
Your hair is messy, falling soft
While my heavy heart is held aloft
[Chorus]
It is a long way home
But I am not alone
Just a word I have not said
Spinning circles in my head
Is it love or just the road?
Keeping up this heavy load
In the yellow glow
Of the radio
[Bridge]
Maybe I should wake you now
And tell you what I feel and how
But the silence feels so sweet
In this dusty velvet seat
If I speak, the spell might break
That is a risk I cannot take
[Verse]
The exit sign is getting near
But the path ahead is not clear
I will let you sleep a little more
Behind this heavy metal door
The morning light is far away
For things I will never say
[Chorus]
It is a long way home
But I am not alone
Just a word I have not said
Spinning circles in my head
Is it love or just the road?
Keeping up this heavy load
In the yellow glow
Of the radio
[Outro]
