Here’s what James Vincent McMorrow said about “Headlights” on his Instagram.
This song, to me, is about fragility and doubt. Some days i definitely feel like i can take on anything and anyone. Others nothing i do feels close to where i want it to be. That’s been the cycle most of my life. I’d wager...
[Verse 1]
I adore you
Everyone else can start to leave
Fall apart like they're on the breeze
I adore you
Set the fire
Let it burn there in front of us
Flare just like chemicals
Set the fire
[Pre-Chorus]
Has the weight of my love (Weight of my love)
Has the weight of my love been killing you?
I know you felt it
But never would have said it
Til' you're screaming how it isn't true
[Chorus]
Who's there for you?
Laying in the dark, laying in the dark
As the headlights start to fade
And we kiss like runaways
What's left for you?
Keep an open mind, keep an open mind
As the headlights start to fade
And I'm gone before you wake
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 2]
Do it for me
Hold my sin like it's criminal
Lock it down like a prisoner
Do it for me
Save my number
I could be right, lately, I've been wrong
I could be weak, maybe never strong
Save my number
[Pre-Chorus]
Has the weight of your love (Weight of your love)
Has the weight of your love been killing me?
I know I felt it
But never would have said it
Til' I'm screaming how I still believe
[Chorus]
Who's there for you?
Laying in the dark, laying in the dark
As the headlights start to fade
And we kiss like runaways
What's left for you?
Keep an open mind, keep an open mind
As the headlights start to fade
And I'm gone before you wake
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
As the headlights start to fade
Yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
(When the headlights)
Have faded
Will you want to be alone with me?
(Headlights)
Have faded
Will you wonder if my heart's still beating?
I've got a feeling that it's on your mind
[Chorus]
Who's there for you? (For you)
Laying in the dark, laying in the dark (Lying in the dark, babe)
As the headlights start to fade (Start to fade, start to fade)
And we kiss like runaways (Kiss like runaways)
What's left for you? (For you)
Keep an open mind, keep an open mind (Keep an open mind)
As the headlights start to fade (Headlights start to fade)
And I'm gone before you wake (Gone before you wake)

I started writing Headlights at the start of 2018. I wrote it with Justin Parker, on the first day I met him. Before that time period, I hadn’t opened myself up to the idea of writing songs with other people. I was an insulated person. The idea of showing people my song writing habits, in real time,...
The process with this song was very convoluted. It started with a songwriter called Justin Parker, who’s written with people like Lana Del Rey and Rihanna. He’s an amazing, intense songwriter and a really great person to be around. He had the chorus and I wrote the lyric in the hotel overnight. Then...
