Headlights in the Sky Lyrics

Well, she counts headlights in the sky
And she knows just where I am
Well, she counts time by the moon
That time that won't forgive
So she writes letters to the president
When it feels good to be alone

Well, she takes a train past all the naked skies
And she knows just where she is
And if the sky should fall upon us
Well, if the oceans save our breath

And I know just where you'll be

She's counting all the headlights in the sky
I'm waiting for something to crash into my life
She's counting all the headlights in the sky
Headlights in the sky

Well, I saw bitterness and I've heard rain
And the souls came home today
Well, some say change is all or nothing
But I don't see at all today

And I know just where you'll be

Lock it up, throw away the key
Patch it up like a broken dream
And I said, I can't help but fall in

She's counting all the headlights in the sky
I'm waiting for something to crash into my life
She's counting all the headlights in the sky
I'm waiting for something to crash into my life
She's counting all the headlights in the sky
Headlights in the sky

And she knows just where she is

She's counting all the headlights in the sky
I'm waiting for something to crash into my life
She's counting all the headlights in the sky

I'm waiting for something to crash into my life
She's counting all the headlights in the sky
I'm waiting for something to crash into my life
She's counting all the headlights in the sky
Headlights in the sky

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
