A fast-moving road song about postponing an ending until the horizon finally catches up. Written for the original 52lyrics catalog, this track belongs to The Midnight Echo's connected late-night songbook.
Coffee gone cold at a quarter to five
White lines counting to keep us alive
The east turns orange in the rear-view glass
We make another promise the morning will pass
Running from the sun with the radio loud
Two small shadows under one long cloud
Night is a country we cannot outrun
Still we keep moving, running from the sun
When daylight finds us, say what we mean
No more hiding in the hours between
The road turns gold, our reasons come undone
We slow down together and face the sun
