Midnight City Drive
Every word, written by AI.
Intro
Verse 1
I reach across the console just to turn the music low
The four-way stops are empty and the tires are turning slow
The little clock is resting in a gentle amber glow
You look at me and whisper that you got no place to go
You sink into the leather of the passenger-side seat
We roll past every corner of an unfamiliar street
You kick your sneakers off and let your tired socks find the heat
The quiet says the heavy things that words could never meet
I signal left and ease into the quiet river lane
A couple drops are tapping on the glass without the rain
The way you bite your lip is making everything so plain
Just riding in this circle keeps my heavy spirit sane
Hook
We take the longest way back home
Too scared to leave each other alone
Forget the buzzes on your phone
We take the longest way back home
Verse 2
I do not think of turning off the ignition or the key
The digital display is blinking quietly at three
The midnight air is open and it makes us feel so free
You look at passing fences but you turn right back to see
Your jacket collar settles right against the driver side
We do not have to fake it like it is a regular ride
The heavy bottom hums along and helps the silence glide
There is no little secret that we really need to hide
My fingers drum a rhythm on the textured plastic dash
We keep it so deliberate so nothing starts to crash
A single yellow signal passes over in a flash
I wish that every minute was a penny in my stash
Hook
We take the longest way back home
Too scared to leave each other alone
Forget the buzzes on your phone
We take the longest way back home
Bridge
You rest your fingers right beside my knuckles on the band
We do not need a speech to help each other understand
The front seat is the calmest spot across this sleeping land
It turned into a blessing that we never could have planned
Hook
We take the longest way back home
Too scared to leave each other alone
Forget the buzzes on your phone
We take the longest way back home
Outro
We take the longest way back home
Just you and me and nobody alone
