The city sleeps, the air is still

I grip the wheel against my will

Four wheels turning on the blackest tar

Chasing the glow of a fading star

The dashboard light is low and blue

It reminds me of the nights with you

I roll the window down to catch the breeze

Hoping for a moment's simple ease

 

Let's drive 'neath the moonlit night

달리자 달 밝은 밤

Just me and my love, holding on tight

나와 나의 사랑

Every mile is a shadow I’m trying to lose

Got the slow

sweet melancholy of the late-night blues

 

If I had a ticket back to yesterday

I'd burn it fast just to see your face again

Every time I drive I wish

You were here riding with me 늘 그랬듯이 다시

 

The rearview mirror only shows the past

A ghost in the seat that’s built to last

The only music is the engine's hum

Telling me gently what I’ve become

A lone wanderer in this empty space

Searching for a single, warm embrace

But tonight I'm just running from the truth

Back to the reckless summer of my youth

 

Let's drive 'neath the moonlit night

달리자 달 밝은 밤

Just me and my love, holding on tight

나와 나의 사랑

Every mile is a shadow I’m trying to lose

Got the slow

sweet melancholy of the late-night blues

 

I couldn’t see the exit ramp back in the day

fighting for a winning you did not understand

It wasn't the distance that tore us apart

Just the reckless driver inside my heart

 

Maybe the drive isn't about getting away

But finding the courage to face a brighter day

This road is long, it curves and turns

A quiet lesson that my lonely heart learns

 

The brake lights flash, then fade and die

Beneath the pale, unblinking sky

Just pull over and wait for the dawn…

Yeah, wait for the dawn to come and be gone
