Lyric

Door clicks shut and the street goes quiet

Shoes half off, my cheek on the glass

You say "where to?" and I tell you

That's the last thing I decide tonight

Neon slides down the window

Like coins I don't have to catch

Let the lights decide when to stop

Let the map remember the way

Let the meter count the sheep for me

One, two, three

You drive, I'll dream

The tunnel zips me in

Orange light, orange light

Pulled up to my chin

You drive, I'll dream

It's not my turn tonight

Wake me at my door

Not a minute before

Hush, hush, sing the wipers

Shh, shh, hums the road

Hush, hush, sing the wipers

You drive, I'll dream

The radio sings in a language I don't know

Still I know every word

Rain is writing on the window in cursive

I'm too sleepy to read what it says

All-night stores keep their lights on

So I don't have to

Let the rain write all my letters

Let the radio say what I meant

Let the meter count the sheep for me

Four, five, six

You drive, I'll dream

The tunnel zips me in

Orange light, orange light

Pulled up to my chin

You drive, I'll dream

It's not my turn tonight

If I talk in my sleep

Turn the radio up

Hush, hush, sing the wipers

Shh, shh, hums the road

Hush, hush, sing the wipers

You drive, I'll dream

The road becomes a river

Taillights swim like goldfish, red and slow

Streetlamps bend like herons

Fishing for the moon below

The car's a little boat now

And you row without a word

Somebody's awake

So I don't have to be

You drive, I'll dream

The tunnel zips me in

Orange light, orange light

Pulled up to my chin

You drive, I'll dream

Take the long way, please

Wake me at my door

Not a minute before

Let the meter count the sheep for me

Seven, eight, nine

Hush, hush

Thank you, good night
