3 AM Detour

[Intro]
[Verse]
The 405 is quiet now
I’m making a silent vow
To keep my eyes upon the road
But memories are a heavy load
I see the bricks of your old place
Searching for a familiar face
[Pre-Chorus]
The shaker hits a steady beat
Echoing down every street
I’m hovering in the gray
Watching yesterday fade away
[Chorus]
Just a detour in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
Of the fire we used to hold
Before the summer turned to cold
I’m driving past the ghost
Of the girl I loved the most
[Post-Chorus]
Oh, it’s a slow burn
A lesson I had to learn
Just a slow burn
No need to return
[Verse]
That punchline that you never finished
The magic hasn't quite diminished
It lingers in the passenger seat
Like a rhythm that’s bittersweet
We talked about the moon and stars
Now we’re just two passing cars
[Chorus]
Just a detour in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
Of the fire we used to hold
Before the summer turned to cold
I’m driving past the ghost
Of the girl I loved the most
[Bridge]
Analog dreams in a digital world
Watching the silver smoke get curled
I don’t regret the time we spent
I know exactly where it went
Into the ether, into the blue
Leaving a version of me and you
[Hook]
Slow burn
No return
Lessons learned
Pages turned
[Chorus]
Just a detour in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
Of the fire we used to hold
Before the summer turned to cold
I’m driving past the ghost
Of the girl I loved the most
[Outro]
