[Verse 1] Your hand on the wheel My heart in the dash We slide through the dark Like a match in glass You laugh at the signs I watch your eyes glow [Pre-Chorus] Tail ends of rain On the glass like tears You say, "stay close" And I disappear Into your lane Into your light [Chorus] Take me on a midnight mile Take me where the hurt runs wild You and me, we burn so bright Hold me through the long night drive Midnight mile Midnight mile [Verse 2] The old quarter fades In a chrome-blue blur Your jacket on the seat Still smells like summer We pass the closed shops And the sleeping train But your voice in my ear Pulls me back again [Pre-Chorus] The world goes thin At the edge of town You squeeze my hand And the miles calm down I lean in close To your steady song [Chorus] Take me on a midnight mile Take me where the hurt runs wild You and me, we burn so bright Hold me through the long night drive Midnight mile Midnight mile [Bridge] If dawn comes quick Let it find us here With the sky half-far And my mind half-clear No map, no fear Just your name on my tongue [Chorus] Take me on a midnight mile Take me where the hurt runs wild You and me, we burn so bright Hold me through the long night drive Midnight mile Midnight mile
