Stranded on the flatline freeway
That's the way your hair falls down
We could watch the trains from the tight rope chase the dark
Out here on a desert fault line
That's the way the world goes round
I'm losing track of time inside this racing heart
Your racing heart

Staring out the window with you with your head on my shoulder
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
Riding through the heart of the dark that you fought like a soldier
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream

Clinging to your late-night courage
Anything to pass the time
Lying in the backseat trying not to fall apart
Waiting for your life to start

Staring out the window with you with your head on my shoulder
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
Riding through the heart of the dark that you fought like a soldier
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream

And the night is long, the road is longer
You say you sleep better when I'm awake
I'll stay awake for you

Staring out the window with you with your head on my shoulder
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
Riding through the heart of the dark that you fought like a soldier
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
Trying to get some sleep, we'll be driving through a dream
