Headlights on Wet Ground
Style: Acoustic soul

[Verse 1]
I turn in slow between the lines
Light sweeps across the wet tarmac
You're just a shape behind the glass
But already my whole chest unwinds

[Pre-chorus]
I park the car and just sit still
Watching the light fade off the wall
Something in this is waiting to spill

[Chorus]
Eva, you're the calm after the drive
Every small return feels like arriving
Nothing about it needs deciding
Eva, that's how I know it's alive

[Verse 2]
Rain keeps falling soft on the roof
Engine ticking as it cools down
You come out without your coat on
Like waiting was never any proof

[Pre-chorus]
I park the car and just sit still
Watching the light fade off the wall
Something in this is waiting to spill

[Chorus]
Eva, you're the calm after the drive
Every small return feels like arriving
Nothing about it needs deciding
Eva, that's how I know it's alive

[Bridge]
No grand entrance, no big scene
Just tail lights fading into grey
This is the love that stays

[Chorus]
Eva, you're the calm after the drive
Every small return feels like arriving
Nothing about it needs deciding
Eva, that's how I know it's alive

[Outro]
The lines are still there on the ground
And I still come home to that sound
