[verse 1]
Your hands on the wheel in the dark
The radio playing something we both knew
Windows down, the whole world passing by
I'd loved you long before I could say so
And still I felt safest with you
I still hear us singing in the car
Like a song that never quite ends
For a moment that felt like a lifetime
I didn't need anything else
And I didn't want to ruin this —
(but something in you did)
[chorus]
For once I liked the sound of my heart
(Ooooooh)
For once my mind went quiet
Quiet, for a little while
I still feel you next to me
(Aaaaaah)
I could have stayed inside that feeling
Just a little longer
[verse 2]
The streetlights blurred like we had all the time
And maybe we did — I'd already waited years
I never thought I'd find this kind of calm
In someone's arms, in someone's voice
Everything felt less like falling apart
When you turned and smiled at me like that
As if nothing outside could touch us
As long as you held the wheel
And I didn't want to ruin this —
(but I had no road left to stay on)
[chorus]
For once I liked the sound of my heart
(Ooooooh)
For once my mind went quiet
Quiet, for a little while
I still feel you next to me
(Aaaaaah)
I could have stayed inside that feeling
All my life
[bridge]
I loved you before you were mine
I loved you in silence for years
And when you finally held me
I thought that was the end of the fear
But god, I'd give anything
To be back on that road
Before it happened
(Before it happened…)
[outro]
(Ooooooh)
(Aaaaaah)
Stay there…
(Aaaaaah…)
I still feel you
(Mmmmh…)
