Lyrics
Sky spent a broken silver dollar tonight
Half the truth in that half-lit sky
Like a teacher who covers the page
But leaves answers just out the frame
Strange how certainty begs for the sun
But wisdom moves when daylight’s done
Maybe faith ain't a flood in your eyes
Just measured in slices of night
Half moon highway
Endless dark road in my sight
Half moon highway
Lonely drive through the night
Half moon highway
Somewhere between wrong and right
Half moon highway
Old life in the mirror, new life in headlights
Night turns the highway into a page
Where silence edits the noise of the day
Questions rise where the daylight lied
Between what we chase and what we hide
Used to think every turn needed signs
Every mile drawn in perfect lines
Turns out roads that lead you home
Only show the next bend alone
Half moon highway
Endless dark road in my sight
Half moon highway
Lonely drive through the night
Half moon highway
Somewhere between wrong and right
Half moon highway
Old life in the mirror, new life in headlights
Daylight shouts like it knows it all
Night just whispers and lets you crawl
Truth don’t flash like a warning sign
It waits where the quiet lines align
Half a moon but it still can guide
Restless hearts through the countryside
I'm finding things the dark can show
Daylight never wants to know
Half moon highway
Endless dark road in my sight
Half moon highway
Lonely drive through the night
Half moon highway
Somewhere between wrong and right
Half moon highway
Old life in the mirror, new life in headlights
Half moon highway
Rollin’ quiet through my mind
Just enough light for the next white line
Half the truth in that half-lit sky
Like a teacher who covers the page
But leaves answers just out the frame
Strange how certainty begs for the sun
But wisdom moves when daylight’s done
Maybe faith ain't a flood in your eyes
Just measured in slices of night
Half moon highway
Endless dark road in my sight
Half moon highway
Lonely drive through the night
Half moon highway
Somewhere between wrong and right
Half moon highway
Old life in the mirror, new life in headlights
Night turns the highway into a page
Where silence edits the noise of the day
Questions rise where the daylight lied
Between what we chase and what we hide
Used to think every turn needed signs
Every mile drawn in perfect lines
Turns out roads that lead you home
Only show the next bend alone
Half moon highway
Endless dark road in my sight
Half moon highway
Lonely drive through the night
Half moon highway
Somewhere between wrong and right
Half moon highway
Old life in the mirror, new life in headlights
Daylight shouts like it knows it all
Night just whispers and lets you crawl
Truth don’t flash like a warning sign
It waits where the quiet lines align
Half a moon but it still can guide
Restless hearts through the countryside
I'm finding things the dark can show
Daylight never wants to know
Half moon highway
Endless dark road in my sight
Half moon highway
Lonely drive through the night
Half moon highway
Somewhere between wrong and right
Half moon highway
Old life in the mirror, new life in headlights
Half moon highway
Rollin’ quiet through my mind
Just enough light for the next white line
