driving away from you in the late am
i'm running from things i don't want to feel
with every mile i feel the missing
portions of me reaching back to you

i try to be myself as i'm recreated in loving you
i try to sing and the melody sets me free
i'm dancing in the late am
thoughts of you music to my ears

i turn my head because i swear i can feel you
as the traffic lights turn red
there you are, right next to me laughing red
and i break into a grin

i don't know how to be myself again
remade under your gaze
the moment suspends
you're still looking at me smiling

the lights turn
you're away and so am I
driving away from you in the late am
