Lyric

Rain on the glass

Draws little rivers

Route 9 moves slow

Under my fingers

Rental car smell

Old coffee and vinyl

Your jacket still hangs

Like a final signal

Headlights blur white

On the wet black road

I keep both hands light

But I don't let go

Route 9 in the rain

I'm still saying your name

While I leave this town

In a rental car frame

Route 9 in the rain

I can’t turn off the ache

I’m moving away

But I want you to stay

Gas station glow

On a strip mall puddle

I watch my face

In the side mirror shuttle

One city behind me

One still in my chest

Every mile I take

Feels like I’m breaking less

Headlights blur white

On the wet black road

I keep both hands light

But I don't let go

Route 9 in the rain

I'm still saying your name

While I leave this town

In a rental car frame

Route 9 in the rain

I can’t turn off the ache

I’m moving away

But I want you to stay

I told myself

This was the smart way out

But every red light

Turns your shadow loud

And if I keep going

Maybe I survive

Still every mile

Wants you by my side

Route 9 in the rain

I'm still saying your name

While I leave this town

In a rental car frame

Route 9 in the rain

I can’t turn off the ache

I’m moving away

But I want you to stay
