Lyrics[]
Oh it's Saturday night
Or has Sunday started?
Cause when morning light comes and
You're broken hearted
We were close to somethin'
Ended up with nothin'
All I hear is echoes
Of the words we said
All the battles they played over in my head
We were close to heaven
Now it's gone to hell
And so I roll the windows down
And I just fade you out
And it rolls like thunder and it hits a lightnin'
When you are going under, it lifts you up again
Right now that kick drum feels like a heartbeat
And I'm falling for that long lost melody
I put the radio on
Saving myself with the song
I put the radio on
If I keep driving
Keep movin' forward
Cause there's nothing worth me turning this around
I've been hiding these miles between us
So I will keep the volume up to drown you out
Forget you were around
And it rolls like thunder and it hits a lightnin'
When you are going under, it lifts you up again
Right now that kick drum feels like a heartbeat
And I'm falling for that long lost melody
I put the radio on
Saving myself with the song
I put the radio on
I really need a love song to rescue me
I really need a love song that I believe
And it rolls like thunder and it hits a lightnin'
When you are going under, it lifts you up again
Right now that kick drum feels like a heartbeat
I'll start falling for that long lost melody
And I'll find out who it is I'm supposed to be
I put the radio on
Saving myself with the song
I find the strength to move on
There in the moment, I'm strong
I put the radio on
