Heat of the Highway

Verse 1

Stretching shadows

Late hour creeping along the concrete curb

Empty matches

Folded wings beneath the sodium lamp

Pre-Chorus

Broken speakers weep for mercy

Sobbing like a soul out in the storm

Marks we made are jagged landmarks

Yelling through the silence for your name

Chorus

Take the passenger seat tonight

Winding through the heat

Winding through the heat

Monarchs with no kingdom left

Burning out

Burning out

Sovereign in the rubble

Vibrant chemicals through my chest

Pleasure and the wreck

Pleasure and the wreck

Even if the ceiling cracks

I still catch your tone

Post-Chorus

Catch your tone

Mm

Oh oh

Verse 2

Rented blankets

Ink is fading while the morning waits

Drinking trouble

Sprinting past the shattered glass alone

Pre-Chorus

Broken speakers weep for mercy

Sobbing like a soul out in the storm

Marks we made are jagged landmarks

Yelling through the silence for your name

Chorus

Take the passenger seat tonight

Winding through the heat

Winding through the heat

Monarchs with no kingdom left

Burning out

Burning out

Sovereign in the rubble

Vibrant chemicals through my chest

Pleasure and the wreck

Pleasure and the wreck

Even if the ceiling cracks

I still catch your tone

Post-Chorus

Catch your tone

Catch your tone

Mm

Bridge

Pavement calls for me

Pavement begs for me

Every turn returns to you

Deep within the smoke

Down upon my knees

Guitar Solo

Chorus

Take the passenger seat tonight

Winding through the heat

Winding through the heat

Monarchs with no kingdom left

Burning out

Burning out

Sovereign in the rubble

Vibrant chemicals through my chest

Pleasure and the wreck

Pleasure and the wreck

Even if the ceiling cracks

I still catch your tone
