Lyrics

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Oh-oh

Verse 1

Three in the morning the highway is humming

Streetlamps bleeding gold on the asphalt

I packed one bag and I zipped it quiet

Nobody noticed the door swing shut

My phone keeps buzzing with names I outgrew

Blue light flicker on my knuckles

I drive till the map turns to static and sky

And the rearview holds nothing but glare

Pre-Chorus

I don't miss the mirror

I don't miss the mold

Cold air in my lungs now

Warm blood in my hold

Chorus

I left my shadow behind

Out where the old roads bend

I left my shadow behind

It couldn't keep up with me

Roll the window let it fade

I'm not who I was that night

I left my shadow behind

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

(Behind, behind)

Oh-oh

(Behind)

Verse 2

Used to flinch at my own reflection

Now I stare it down like a rival

Every scar is just a timestamp

Proof I crawled out of the spiral

Let the doubters talk to the concrete

I got miles and a mouthful of thunder

Rearview shrinking like a bad dream

And I'm wide awake in the wonder

Pre-Chorus

I don't miss the mirror

I don't miss the mold

Cold air in my lungs now

Warm blood in my hold

Chorus

I left my shadow behind

Out where the old roads bend

I left my shadow behind

It couldn't keep up with me

Roll the window let it fade

I'm not who I was that night

I left my shadow behind

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

(Behind, behind)

Oh-oh

(Behind)

Bridge

Slower now

Slower now

Breathe it out

Breathe it out

I am not the weight I carried

I am not the name they buried

Guitar Solo

Chorus

I left my shadow behind

Out where the old roads bend

I left my shadow behind

It couldn't keep up with me

Roll the window let it fade

I'm not who I was that night

I left my shadow behind

Post-Chorus

Oh-oh

(Behind, behind)

Oh-oh

(Behind)
