Lyrics

[Intro]
I run the lights out here where the interstate goes quiet,
mile marker eighty-one, every Friday around midnight.

[Verse 1]
Two sets of headlights meet in my empty lot,
nose to nose under the one light I keep on.
Six hours on a dashboard clock, a cup gone cold on the hood,
then the taillights pull apart, like I always knew they would.

[Build]

[Chorus]
Halfway has a name now, halfway's got a door.
Four hours each is a road they don't drive anymore.
I've been counting Fridays through the glass all year,
and halfway has a name now, and it's here.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
There were Fridays I'd stand watching, wondering when
one of them would get too tired to drive out here again.
Some nights the rain came hard and one of them showed late,
and I'd hold my breath behind the counter and wait.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
Halfway has a name now, halfway's got a door.
Four hours each is a road they don't drive anymore.
I watched a hundred goodbyes go out under that light —
halfway has a name now, and nobody's driving back tonight.

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Tonight there's only one car, and the back seat's packed to the roof.
I wiped the counter twice just to have a reason to look.
Both taillights left together, one road, one way to go,
and the halfway point turned into somewhere they call home.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
Mile marker eighty-one, and the lot is mine again.
Halfway has a name now — nobody's driving back tonight.
