[Verse 1] Palm on the wheel, your hand on my sleeve Plastic cup sloshing, back seat heat Mall parking lot, then we pull away Tires write lines on the midnight gray Street-map folded, but we don't need that We know every turn by the way it snaps You laugh like you stole the whole night back And I sing low while the engine hums black [Pre-Chorus] Take the long road Let it unwind Watch the moon blink One frame at a time [Chorus] Midnight drive, midnight drive Keep this thing alive Midnight drive, midnight drive You and I in overdrive (Overdrive) Midnight drive, midnight drive Till the sky turns bright [Verse 2] Gas station glow on a wet blue hood Cherry cola down like it should Your voice in the dash, my voice on top Two young ghosts with a full tank pop Fast-food napkins, maps in the door A scratched-up tape from the summer before We chase the bend where the river lies And the road keeps pulling our two wild minds [Pre-Chorus] Take the long road Let it unwind Watch the moon blink One frame at a time [Chorus] Midnight drive, midnight drive Keep this thing alive Midnight drive, midnight drive You and I in overdrive (Overdrive) Midnight drive, midnight drive Till the sky turns bright [Bridge] Hold that note Hold that grin If we get lost We get lost again (Again, again) [Final Chorus] Midnight drive, midnight drive Keep this thing alive Midnight drive, midnight drive You and I in overdrive (Overdrive) Midnight drive, midnight drive Till the sky turns bright Midnight drive, midnight drive Don't let go tonight
