Headlights cutting through the velvet black
Looking forward, never looking back
We had a pocket full of empty dreams
And a guitar playing at the seams
You held the map, I held the wheel
In a world that didn't feel quite real
Streetlights fading in the rearview glass
Shadows dancing as the hours pass
Through the cold rain and the compromise
I saw tomorrow living in your eyes
They said we'd fall, they said we'd fade
But look at the promises we made
'Cause we are the fire in the midnight sky
Bound by a vow that will never die
Through the changing winds and the stormy weather
Two hearts aligned to endure forever
Hand in hand on this open road
Our love is the shelter from the cold
When the lights go down in the city air
I'll look around and I know you're there
You are my anchor, my soul, my home
With you by my side, I am never alone
'Cause we are the fire in the midnight sky
Bound by a vow that will never die
Through the changing winds and the stormy weather
Two hearts aligned to endure forever
Hand in hand on this open road
Our love is the shelter from the cold
Forever true
Yeah, me and you
On this open road
Our love will hold
