Lyrics

[Intro]
Let it stay out, just a little longer

[Verse 1]
The rain thins out to nothing on the glass
And the whole corridor goes quiet all at once
Streetlights, exit signs, both towns on either side
And the station I was half-hearing turns to static in the dark

[Pre-Chorus]
Four lanes of hazards blinking out of time
Nobody honking, everybody down to forty
I let off the gas instead of holding on
And I open up my hands

[Chorus]
Taillights make a red constellation on the road
And there are actual stars above the median tonight
I've driven this a thousand times and never seen it dark
So let it stay out
Let it stay out

[Verse 2]
The exit sign is gone so I count back to find my mile
I know this shoulder better than I know my own front door
Somewhere out there someone's got a hand on a switch
And I'm asking them to wait, just wait a little more

[Pre-Chorus]
The windshield's wide and I can see the whole sky
First full breath I've taken in about six months
I'm not afraid of what the quiet's going to say
I'm just glad it finally came

[Chorus 2]
Taillights make a red constellation on the road
And there are actual stars above the median tonight
I've driven this a thousand times and never seen it dark
So let it stay out
Let it stay out

[Guitar Solo]

[Final Chorus]
Taillights make a red constellation on the road
And there are actual stars above the median tonight
I've driven this a thousand times and never seen it dark
So let it stay out
Let it stay out
Let it stay out

[Outro]
Just a little longer
