Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Cold wind on chrome
Your jacket on my knees
Late night in that parking lot
You swore you'd wait for me
Ashtray halo in your hands
Keys shaking on that ring
You said
"This town will eat us alive"
I laughed like I believed
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Still spells your name
In the dark
I taste that rain
[Chorus]
Echoes in the parking lot
I still hear you calling
Every word you ever dropped
Feels like metal falling
Heartbreak in a leather knot
Tied around my chest
Echoes in the parking lot
Where I loved you
Best
[Verse 2]
Headlights cut through memory
Like a solo in my veins
Old song on the dashboard glow
I pull over in the same place
Your lipstick ghost on my cup
Your boots on my backseat
I talk to the empty air
Like you're still there with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Still spells your name
I press the gas
But stay the same
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I still wait by the yellow line
[voice rising] Arms out wide to a closing sky
If you came back
If you came tonight
I'd burn this whole town just to feel alive [crescendo]
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Cold wind on chrome
Your jacket on my knees
Late night in that parking lot
You swore you'd wait for me
Ashtray halo in your hands
Keys shaking on that ring
You said
"This town will eat us alive"
I laughed like I believed
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Still spells your name
In the dark
I taste that rain
[Chorus]
Echoes in the parking lot
I still hear you calling
Every word you ever dropped
Feels like metal falling
Heartbreak in a leather knot
Tied around my chest
Echoes in the parking lot
Where I loved you
Best
[Verse 2]
Headlights cut through memory
Like a solo in my veins
Old song on the dashboard glow
I pull over in the same place
Your lipstick ghost on my cup
Your boots on my backseat
I talk to the empty air
Like you're still there with me
[Pre-Chorus]
Every scar
Still spells your name
I press the gas
But stay the same
[Chorus]
[guitar solo]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register] I still wait by the yellow line
[voice rising] Arms out wide to a closing sky
If you came back
If you came tonight
I'd burn this whole town just to feel alive [crescendo]
