Drifting Past the Drive-In

Lyrics

Summer's end and the screen's gone dark
Weeds in the cracks of the old car park
We came here once with a borrowed car
Counting the moths around the stars

The speaker poles still lean and sway
Like they're listening for a film to play
I close my eyes and I hear it still
Laughing in the dark on the hillside hill

Time goes soft at the edges
Like a reel left in the sun

Drifting past the drive-in
Where the whole world used to glow
Drifting past the drive-in
On the road we used to know
Silver ghosts on a faded screen
Everything we were is in between
Drifting past the drive-in
Let the dream go slow

Popcorn smell in the evening air
A memory that isn't really there
But I tip my hat to the empty lot
For every wish we ever got

Time goes soft at the edges
Like a reel left in the sun

Drifting past the drive-in
Where the whole world used to glow
Drifting past the drive-in
On the road we used to know
Silver ghosts on a faded screen
Everything we were is in between
Drifting past the drive-in
Let the dream go slow

Roll the credits on the summer
Fade the lights to blue
I'd stay a little longer
But the highway's calling through

Drifting past the drive-in
Where the whole world used to glow
Drifting past the drive-in
On the road we used to know
Silver ghosts on a faded screen
Everything we were is in between
Drifting past the drive-in
Let the dream go slow

Let the dream go slow
Let the dream go slow
