The Starlight Drive

[Intro]
[Verse]
Tires humming on the red dirt road
Cashing in a heavy heart-load
Rusty gates are swinging wide
To the place where we used to hide
The screen is peeling like a winter skin
Waiting for the show to begin
[Pre-Chorus]
I can almost hear your boots on the dash
Like a lightning bolt, like a camera flash
The wind is whistling a melody
Bringing back the girl you used to be
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon’s humming in my head tonight
Flickering gold in the pale moonlight
We were queens of the cracked asphalt
Finding magic in every fault
You’re the static on the screen
The prettiest ghost I’ve ever seen
Yeah, the glow is never gonna fade
In the starlight promise that we made
[Post-Chorus]
Starlight, star bright
You’re still shining in the night
[Verse]
Tailgate down on your daddy’s truck
Testing out our teenage luck
Shared a soda and a secret or two
Everything felt brand new
Now the weeds are growing through the floor
But I don't feel lonely anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
I can almost hear your boots on the dash
Like a lightning bolt, like a camera flash
The wind is whistling a melody
Bringing back the girl you used to be
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon’s humming in my head tonight
Flickering gold in the pale moonlight
We were queens of the cracked asphalt
Finding magic in every fault
You’re the static on the screen
The prettiest ghost I’ve ever seen
Yeah, the glow is never gonna fade
In the starlight promise that we made
[Bridge]
The projector’s gone and the lights are out
But I know what this life’s about
It’s the echoes in the empty space
The way I still can see your face
Grief is just a different kind of light
Guiding me home through the dark of night
[Chorus]
Oh, the neon’s humming in my head tonight
Flickering gold in the pale moonlight
We were queens of the cracked asphalt
Finding magic in every fault
You’re the static on the screen
The prettiest ghost I’ve ever seen
Yeah, the glow is never gonna fade
In the starlight promise that we made
[Outro]
