Intro
Hazards on... hazards on...
Verse 1
You said "just pull up anywhere," so I parked behind the Publix. Pine Island Road, two-fifteen, the lot lights humming low. You laughed at something Drew said back in eleventh grade. And then the laughing stopped, and the not-laughing was loud.
Pre-chorus
If I say it, I can't take it. If I don't, I'll keep replaying. Window's catching every word. Even ones we ain't saying.
Chorus
Hazards on, engine off, two-fifteen on the dash. Fog up the windows so the night don't have to ask. You stay where you are, I'll stay where I am. Nothing happened, and that's the part that won't stop happening.
Post-chorus
Hazards on, hazards on. Hazards on, hazards on.
Verse 2
We been doing this for years. Late drives. No agenda. You text me when you fight with him, I pick up before midnight. Your husband knows my name, your daughter has my number. This is normal, this is normal, this is normal, this is...
Pre-chorus 2
If I say it, I can't take it. If I don't, it'll keep ringing. Window's already misting. Body's already leaning.
Chorus
Hazards on, engine off, two-fifteen on the dash. Fog up the windows so the night don't have to ask. You stay where you are, I'll stay where I am. Nothing happened, and that's the part that won't stop happening.
Post-chorus
Hazards on, hazards on. Hazards on, hazards on.
Verse 3
Your hand was on the gear shift, mine was on the wheel. The space between two seats is six inches, give or take. You said "I miss who I was when I knew you back then." And I said "yeah, me too." And I knew exactly what we meant. Hazards on, hazards on, just so I don't crash.
Bridge
We didn't cross a line. We just kept the engine warm enough to deny it. We didn't cross a line. We just kept the engine warm. Nothing happened. And that's the part that won't stop happening.
Verse 4
"Are we doing something?" That was you, not me. "No," I said, "we're not. And we're not gonna." "Okay," you said. And you put your hand back on your phone. And I put both hands on the wheel like that would prove I'm safe.
Chorus
Hazards on, engine off, two-fifteen on the dash. Fog up the windows so the night don't have to ask. You stay where you are, I'll stay where I am. Nothing happened, and that's the part that won't stop happening. Hazards on, hazards on. Hazards on, hazards on.
Verse 5
You said "drive me home." And I did. Took Sample to Pine Island. Didn't say a word. You closed the door soft. Said "thanks" like it was Thursday. I sat in your driveway 'til the hazards turned themselves off.
Inside the recording
Hazards on... hazards on...
If I say it, I can't take it. If I don't, I'll keep replaying.
You said "drive me home." And I did. Took Sample to Pine Island. Didn't say a word.
