Brilliant subtlety in these lyrics. So nice to have the imagery paired with the human element of missing or needing somebody.

Song a Week 2023 - Week 15

Lyrics:
Headlights and heavy trucks
Taillights and roadworks
Rainfall and windscreen wipes
Driving through a stormy night

Please be there for me

Tarmac and white lines
Slip roads and roadsigns
Weaving from lane to lane
Trying to get home again

Please be there for me

When you’re on a highway
Trying to get home 
Racing a lifetime
Is such a burdensome load
Headlights and heavy trucks
Are going so slow
Will you still be waiting?
I really cannot know

White lights and red lights 
From twilight to late night
A crawling eternity 
To get where I need to be

Please be there for me

Headlights and heavy trucks
Taillights and roadworks
Weaving from lane to lane
Trying to get home again

Please be there for me
Please be there for me

Headlights and Heavy Trucks
