[Verse 1] I left the porch light burning Behind the screen door glow Your last words in my rearview Still hanging low The road unspooled like a ribbon Past fields asleep in black My hands were tight on the wheel But I didn’t turn back [Pre-Chorus] Mile by mile I felt it crack That heavy shadow Falling off my back I took one breath Then two, then three And something in me Said “keep on, keep on” [Chorus] Headlights on the wire I’m coming back to life Headlights on the wire I’m taking back the night (back the night) I was down, down, down Now I’m running with the sky Headlights on the wire I’m coming back alive [Verse 2] Passed the diner at the edge of town Where the old men never sleep I saw my face in the window glass Look tired, but still complete The map kept folding in the dark The gas gauge chased the red But every stop I used to make I left there in my head [Pre-Chorus] Mile by mile I felt it crack That heavy shadow Falling off my back I took one breath Then two, then three And something in me Said “keep on, keep on” [Chorus] Headlights on the wire I’m coming back to life Headlights on the wire I’m taking back the night (back the night) I was down, down, down Now I’m running with the sky Headlights on the wire I’m coming back alive [Bridge] No more waiting For the world to change I can hear my heartbeat Calling out my name If the past comes hunting Let it eat my dust I’ve been lost before Now I know enough [Final Chorus] Headlights on the wire I’m coming back to life Headlights on the wire I’m taking back the night (back the night) I was down, down, down Now I’m running with the sky Headlights on the wire I’m coming back alive Headlights on the wire I’m coming back to life Headlights on the wire I’m coming back alive (alive)
