Midnight Highway Lyrics - Daphne Loves Derby

Your bitter goodbye is ringing through this quiet night, 

This idle hour just wont pass 

I've never missed you this much, never thought I would, 

Didn't think you'd feel so far away 

And your summer perfume is still blowing through this hallway, 

Autumn's amber red shadows dance 

I miss our midnight rides on highway 18, 18 is gone 

And so go past the lights and all the excuses 

You could have left "sincerely yours" 

Don't you think it's obvious that I want to say more? 

Cause anything too daring to say to you, 

Will be said in this letter, then burned away 

So you never realize, I'm here 

I'm thinking of your vague reply 

So I can understand 

Why we put this at rest 

Why we forget to 

Say that we were leaving 

And say that we were sorry 

The past remains unspoken 

As this vacant night is dying 

But I still miss your summer perfume 

This cold air brings in such a distance to us 

Such a painful distance 

And I'm still waiting for you to say you hate me now 

So I don't have to, hold on to this burning heart 

This burning heart is getting old, getting old 

And while I'm sitting on this cold kitchen floor, 

Head down to hide the tears, 

I've realized 

I've finally realized that you were never meant for me
