Lyrics

Verse

The dashboard lights are dim and low
The engine's gone, the pulse is slow
Concrete shadows stretch and lean
Caught in the space that lies between

Chorus

One word to break the heavy air
A choice to keep or a choice to dare
The clock is ticking on the glass
Waiting for the ghost to pass

Verse

Streetlights flicker, pale and cold
A story left to be unrolled
The steering wheel beneath my hand
A lonely island in this land

Chorus

One word to break the heavy air
A choice to keep or a choice to dare
The clock is ticking on the glass
Waiting for the ghost to pass

Bridge

Silence is a rising tide
Nowhere left for me to hide
The tension pulls, the strings unwind
The answer that I have to find

Chorus

One word to break the heavy air
A choice to keep or a choice to dare
The clock is ticking on the glass
Waiting for the ghost to pass
