Lyrics and translation

Original

Streetlights in the rearview mirror
Disappearing stars seem clearer now
Thoughts meander like the road ahead
And I rewind the tape to recall the night we had
And what she said
You lived your life in overdrive
Time to slow down, enjoy the ride tonight
Just for a night
So take your time
Now I know, it ain't about the spotlight it's the afterglow
Time is kind, knowing myself better staring down the line
The heart of the matter ain't hard to find
Neon whispers in the break of dawn
Bending 'round the corners of my mind
My two hands firmly on the steering wheel
Though I once drove with the fire in my eyes
Through the night
She said: 'You burned your bridges in the flames
But there's still time to find your way again
So let it slide
Just for tonight'
Now I know, it ain't about the spotlight it's the afterglow
Time is kind, knowing myself better staring down the line
The heart of the matter ain't hard to find
I come from being too far gone
Going home
Now I know, it ain't about the spotlight it's the afterglow
Time is kind, knowing myself better staring down the line
The heart of the matter ain't hard to find
