Lyrics

Empty signs on a silver line,
Mile-mark ghosts in the back of my mind
I drive these roads to clear my head,
But I'm still talking to things you said
The rearview holds your shadow shape,
Every turn another escape
I keep your sweater by the bedroom chair,
Like you might still be standing there
Morning trains and midnight calls,
Echo down my hallway walls
I trace your name in coffee rings,
Pretend it doesn't mean a thing
We thought distance made it clean,
But it just sharpened what we mean
All the words we left behind
Race beside these dotted lines
Silent highways, sleepless skies,
Carry all our thin goodbyes
Every town we've passed right through
Still remembers me and you
If I whisper to the dark,
Will it carry you my heart?
Silent highways know our names,
They remember, just the same
The service station's yellow glow
Makes the asphalt feel like snow
I buy a drink I barely taste,
Check my phone, then check again in haste
Your name's not there, but still I stare,
At all the things we didn't dare
I walk to work past traffic lights,
Try to breathe through busy nights
Your favorite café on the corner there
Still plays that song we used to share
I hum along, then turn away,
Some ghosts are louder in the day
We let silence steer the wheel,
Hoping time would help us heal
But the quiet that we chose
Is the loudest thing we know
Silent highways, sleepless skies,
Carry all our thin goodbyes
Every town we've passed right through
Still remembers me and you
If I whisper to the dark,
Will it carry you my heart?
Silent highways know our names,
They remember, just the same
If you turned around tonight,
Would you meet me in that light?
If I called you, just to say,
I'd leave right now, I'd drive your way
If we let the silence break,
Could we find a road to take?
Silent highways, dawning skies,
Heal the edges of goodbyes
Every mile between us two
Tries to learn what love can do
If I speak your name out loud,
Will it cut through all these clouds?
Silent highways, rising sun,
Maybe we're not quite undone
