[Verse 1]
There’s a crack in the silence, ticking on the wall
Every second like a whisper, like it knows it all
I was staring at the clock, waiting on a sign
When headlights cut the darkness—yeah, right on time
[Pre-Chorus]
You pulled up slow, window rolled down
Said “you coming or you staying in this town?”
[Chorus]
So I jumped in the car with Bob tonight
Chasing neon dreams under broken streetlights
The clock kept ticking but we didn’t care
Just two lost souls going nowhere
Engine humming like a lullaby
Speeding past the reasons why
We ever thought we’d stay where we are
Yeah, I found freedom in a beat-up car
[Verse 2]
Radio’s buzzing with a half-known song
Bob’s tapping rhythm like he’s known it all along
We don’t talk much, but we don’t need words
Just the road unwinding every doubt we’ve heard
[Pre-Chorus]
He glanced my way, said “time moves fast”
I said “not tonight, let’s make it last”
[Chorus]
So we drove that car through the edge of dawn
Where the night holds tight but the fear is gone
The clock gave up trying to keep us in line
We were living outside of time
Windows down and the cold air bites
But it feels like truth in the city lights
We were more than names, more than scars
Just two wild hearts in a stolen car
[Bridge]
Tick-tock fades when you’re miles away
From every voice that told you to stay
Bob just smiled, said “now you see?”
“This is what it means to be free”
[Final Chorus]
Still riding that car with Bob somehow
Even when I’m standing still right now
That clock keeps ticking but I’ve changed pace
Left a piece of me in that place
Every second’s just a chance to start
Turn the key and restart your heart
No matter where you think you are
You can always run…
You can always run in your own fast car
[Outro]
Ticking fades… engine hums low…
Me and Bob, we still go.
