Engine Humming in the Dark

Intro

Verse 1 - Spoken Word

(He)

The moonlight sits on your heavy lids

Your glitter's smeared from that long drive home

(She)

We left the house before the clock hit four

Missing every single lesson

(He)

Borrowed cash

Borrowed cars

Empty cups

(She)

We don't need the bells or the hallways

Just the highway screaming loud

Pre-Chorus - Whispered

(He)

Every porch light is a witness

(She)

Every heartbeat is a debt

Chorus - Sung, Soft

Don't wait for the sun to show up

Keep the engine humming in the dark

Burn the calendar before we get old

Hide the maps

Hide the plans

Hold my hand while the world falls away

Verse 2 - Spoken Word

(She)

Tall boys with those leather sleeves

Grinning like they know a secret code

(He)

I watched you leaning by the pool

Flirting just to feel the spark

(She)

They don't mean a thing to me

Only shadows

Only noise

Only ghosts

(He)

Your dress is torn at the seam

Running through the woods after midnight

Pre-Chorus - Whispered

(She)

Every porch light is a witness

(He)

Every heartbeat is a debt

Chorus - Sung, Soft

Don't wait for the sun to show up

Keep the engine humming in the dark

Burn the calendar before we get old

Hide the maps

Hide the plans

Hold my hand while the world falls away

Bridge - Spoken Word

(He)

You said we'd never reach twenty

(She)

I said we're already there

(He)

Static on the radio dial

(She)

Static in the freezing air

Final Chorus - Sung, Fading

Don't wait for the sun to show up

Keep the engine humming in the dark

Burn the calendar before we get old

Hide the maps

Hide the plans

Hold my hand while the world falls away

Outro - Spoken Word

(She)

Hold my hand
