[Verse 1]
Red dust on the bumper
Long road
No signs
You laughed at your own joke
Said it “pays to plan ahead
Sometimes”
Map folded on the dashboard
Your coffee going cold
You tapped the wheel
Said
“Some stories just don’t get told”
[Chorus]
“Remember
It’s only murder if they find a body
Otherwise
You’re just a missing person” (hey)
You said it like a punchline
Sun in your eyes
I laughed
But my skin kept burning
Out past nowhere
Where the phone dies slowly
Every bad idea feels certain
“Remember
It’s only murder if they find a body
Otherwise
You’re just a missing person”
[Verse 2]
Pub talk in the corner
Flies stuck to the screen
Old men betting every
Last regret on a pokies machine
You bought a round of silence
Shot glasses in a row
Said
“People vanish out here
Like rain that never shows”
[Chorus]
“Remember
It’s only murder if they find a body
Otherwise
You’re just a missing person” (oh yeah)
You carved it in a coaster
Pen digging hard
Like you meant more than you were learning
Out past nowhere
In the heat that hums
Every bad idea feels certain
“Remember
It’s only murder if they find a body
Otherwise
You’re just a missing person”
[Bridge]
Night drives
High beams
Red dirt on my tongue
I hear that line you loved
In every tyre that’s spun
If someone asks
“You seen ’em?”
I’ll just stare ahead
Out here
A question
Is as good as dead
[Chorus]
“Remember
It’s only murder if they find a body
Otherwise
You’re just a missing person”
You said it like a dare to the empty sky
Like the stars might be returning
Out past nowhere
On a one-lane track
Every bad idea feels certain
“Remember
It’s only murder if they find a body
Otherwise
You’re just a missing person”
