Midnight on the Oléron Road
Verse 1
The windows hold the salt of days
The dashboard glows a fading blue
A paper map, two coffee cups
And quiet miles are pulling through
The ocean’s gone beyond the dark
But I can still hear every wave
Somewhere behind these headlights now
Is everything we couldn’t save

Verse 2
The backseat dreams don’t know the time
A blanket rises with each breath
Streetlights slowly take the place
Of stars that watched us from the west
No one speaks, there’s nothing left
But memories filling every mile
We don’t need words to understand
Why everyone’s still wearing smiles

Chorus
Midnight on the Oléron Road
Somewhere between goodbye and home
Every mile brings back the world
We loved before it all was gone
Home is waiting, warm and bright
But part of us stays by the sea
Midnight on the Oléron Road
Is still the road inside of me

Verse 3
The front door opens without a sound
Familiar walls, familiar air
We leave the bags beside the stairs
Still carrying the summer there
Tomorrow comes with lists and clocks
And all the things we have to do
But tonight the tide is in my heart
And every dream still smells like June

Bridge
We never keep the waves we find
We only keep the way they change us
Every journey leaves a light
Burning softly somewhere behind us

Final Chorus
Midnight on the Oléron Road
The journey ends where journeys do
But every time I close my eyes
That shoreline leads me back to you
Home is more than where we are
It’s every place love carried me
Midnight on the Oléron Road
Will always drive beside of me.
