headlights. (demo)

Didn't mean to take the exit out of Texas It was habit had me tugging at the turn Could've been a straight shot home If I had left us both alone But some people just never learn Never claimed to be a martyr to this madness Just a victim to the never ending lines Give me something to believe in That stops us both from leaving Three AM, and I'm back on the drive My headlights don't shine as bright When they're not facing north This car feels like a prison When it's not you I'm headed towards The cops catch me speeding, and I run out of gas Every time I leave I'm already headed back The sunsets blind me for a minute here And I forget that I miss watching them with you The shades of orange and gold Can whisper not to go But these days, I'm always on the move My headlights don't shine as bright When they're not facing north This car feels like a prison When it's not you I'm headed towards The cops catch me speeding, and I run out of gas Every time I leave I'm already headed back My tank is reaching empty And I don't know where I am I lost my map an hour in But I know where I'm gonna land You are still my beacon The lighthouse that I knew I don't need to see the street signs The road leads me to you My headlights don't shine as bright When they're not facing north This car is like a prison When it's not you I'm headed towards The cops catch me speeding, and I run out of gas Every time I leave I'm already headed back Every time I leave I'm already headed back
