Lyrics

Windows down and my mind is up

Driving with windows down, deep in thought

I'll see neon lights and they'll be enough

Seeing neon lights, finding satisfaction in them

Enough to keep you in the back of my brain

Neon lights symbolize memories lingering in the mind

While I head on down the fast lane

Continuing on a fast-paced journey, leaving things behind

And I know you're doing alright

Aware that the other person is doing well

And I know I'm gonna be alright

Confident about personal well-being

Now you're standing in the headlights

Imagery of the other person appearing unexpectedly

Staring back at me

Eye contact in the headlights, a moment of connection

In the arms of something pristine

The other person in a pure and ideal state

A silent reverie

A quiet contemplation or dream-like state

Take back your tongue

Encouragement to speak freely

And all those thing we might've done

Reflecting on missed opportunities

You're gone, the wheel has been spun

Realization that the person is gone, fate decided

Dazed in red, foot down on green

Feeling disoriented, moving forward

Try to stay sober, try to stay clean

Struggling to stay clear-headed

There's a method to this madness

Suggesting there's a purpose in chaos

Night driving to escape some sadness

Night driving as a way to escape sorrow

As I head on down the fast lane

Continuing the journey at a fast pace

I know I'm going to be alright

Reassurance of personal well-being

Now you're standing in the headlights

Repeat of unexpected encounter in the headlights

Staring back at me

Eye contact in the arms of something pure

In the arms of something pristine

Repeating the theme of a serene contemplation

A silent reverie

Continuation of a silent dream-like state

Take back your tongue

Encouragement to express oneself freely

And all those thing we might've done

Reflecting on missed opportunities (repeated)

You're gone, the wheel has been spun

Acknowledging the person is gone, fate decided (repeated)

So long passenger

Bid farewell to the passenger, suggesting departure

You'll forget I was ever here

The idea of being forgotten after leaving

Now you're standing in the headlights

Repetition of unexpected encounter in the headlights

Staring back at me

Reiteration of eye contact in the headlights

In the arms of something pristine

Repetition of being in the arms of something pure

A silent reverie

Repetition of a quiet contemplation or dream-like state

Take back your tongue

Encouragement to speak freely (repeated)

And all those thing we might've done

Reflecting on missed opportunities (repeated)

You're gone, the wheel has been spun

Acknowledging the person is gone, fate decided (repeated)
