Verse 1 The skyline’s fading in the rearview mirror I’ve never seen the road look quite this clear Passed the coffee shop and the old hotel Where I used to know your ghost so well But the streetlights changed from red to green And I’m somewhere that you’ve never been I don’t check the passenger seat anymore I don’t wonder what I’m driving toward Pre-Chorus (Music swells with a steady, driving energy) The engine’s humming like a lullaby I’m finally waving the past goodbye Chorus (Driving, melodic, cinematic — classic rock feel) Somewhere on Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you I left your name in the city lights Underneath the velvet night By the time I hit the overpass I knew the freedom was gonna last Somewhere on Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you [Melodic guitar solo — 4 bars, shimmering and atmospheric] Verse 2 I remember how I used to fear the dark Like every shadow was a question mark But the moon is silver and the air is cool And I’m done playing the heartbreak fool I used to drive this road just to feel the heat Of the memories on the empty street Now I’m just driving ‘cause I like the view And none of it belongs to you Pre-Chorus (Builds with a rhythmic, soaring vocal) The engine’s humming like a lullaby I’m finally waving the past goodbye Chorus (Full band — iconic, driving anthem) Somewhere on Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you I left your name in the city lights Underneath the velvet night By the time I hit the overpass I knew the freedom was gonna last Somewhere on Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you [Bridge — slightly stripped back, atmospheric synth shimmer] Empty road Silver jewelry Leather jacket And a heart that’s free I didn’t need you to let me go I just needed to drive this road (Drums kick in harder) I just needed to drive this road Yeah, I'm already home Final Chorus (Triumphant — biggest vocal, classic rock energy) Somewhere on Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you I left your name in the city lights Underneath the velvet night By the time I hit the overpass I knew the freedom was gonna last Somewhere on Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you [Outro — guitar melody repeats and fades as the car engine sound hums into the distance] On Midnight Avenue I stopped missing you (Yeah, I'm gone) (I'm gone...)
