There's a pay phone glowing in the distance

Like a memory that won't disappear

And the ocean keeps falling inside me

Like it's trying to bring you back here

Summer slipped through our hands so quietly

Like smoke fading into the blue

Every station after midnight

Sounds a little bit like you

And all these empty streets still know our name somehow

Headlights on the coast burning through the dark

Like the nights we thought would last forever back when we were young enough to fall apart

Headlights on the coast, silver waves and radio songs

Sometimes love survives long after the people are gone

There's a waitress wiping down a counter

At a diner off the interstate

The old man talking baseball softly

Like nothing around here ever changed

But every time I see the harbor lights reflected on the race of road

I swear I still feel your hand beside me somewhere in the static flow

Maybe every heartbreak leaves a frequency behind

Headlights on the coast shining through the rain

Like every dream we left unfinished still waiting somewhere in LA

Headlights on the coast running parallel to time

Sometimes I still hear your laughter in the heart of a midnight drive

Maybe some love never really leaves

But they just become part of the night

Headlights

On the coast, still pulling me home

Through the faded gold of California and all the songs we used to know

Headlights on the coast
