Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's getting late, I'm tripping in the dark
My shirt is draped over the moon
Just trying to hold onto you
I leave my headlights on
[Verse 2]
I only feel like myself at night
Don't always treat you right
But I don’t know how to be subtle with
All the things I hate about myself
You try to calm me, and I turn away
I always turn away
I don't know why I have to be this way
I'd rather not be so hard to love
I fucked it up, I fucked it up again
Was there even a chance I could change
Or am I resolute to stay the same?
[Verse 3]
I hope you're here whenever I emerge
I'm buried up to my eyes
But please don't ever stop pulling me out
I'm so folded up inside of you
[Refrain]
I keep my headlights on
I keep my headlights on
I keep my headlights on
I keep my headlights on
[Bridge]
I'm so folded up inside of you
I don't know if I'm me or you
[Verse 4]
You've always loved me more than I deserve
And maybe that's the thing
I don't feel like I earned your faith
Want to hear that I'm not too late
[Verse 5]
Let's take it back to spending every night
Third floor on Engert Avenue
Introduction in faded sheets
I'll always have that part of you
