[Intro]
Dispatch said your heart was on the run
I grabbed my keys and chased the setting sun
[Verse 1]
You left a note beside the coffee cup
Two crooked arrows saying catch me up
I saw your red scarf flying by the store
Then heard your little laugh behind the door
I took the corner with the window down
You waved at me from halfway across town
No sirens, just the rhythm of the tires
You turned a quiet block into a choir
[Pre-Chorus]
I know the rules, but love rewrites the map
You make me want to close the case and never look back
[Chorus]
Pull over, darling, let me read your eyes
You’re speeding through the best part of my life
I’m following the spark you leave behind
Past every stop sign, past the county line
If this is a chase, then let the whole world know
I’m not here to catch you, I’m here to take it slow
You hit the brakes and I forget my name
One smile from you and I surrender to the game
[Verse 2]
We cut through alleys painted blue and gold
You called my phone and said, “You’re getting close”
I parked beside the river, out of breath
You tossed me one more clue and disappeared
A paper crane was waiting on the hood
With seven words that said you understood
I followed footprints up the gravel hill
And found you laughing where the air stood still
[Pre-Chorus]
No badge, no code, no reason to pretend
The finest kind of trouble is a night that doesn’t end
[Chorus]
Come out from hiding, you can drop the disguise
There’s nowhere safer than the truth in your eyes
I’m tracing every turn that brought you here
The closer that I get, the less I fear
Your getaway car is parked beneath the trees
Your heartbeat gives away the evidence to me
You raise your hands, but I reach for them instead
And every charge I had dissolves inside my head
[Bridge]
Case number one: the way you say my name
Case number two: you never play it safe
Case number three: I’m smiling like a fool
The verdict is a lifetime riding next to you
[Final Chorus]
The road is open and the radio sings
You’re leaning closer as the morning begins
No flashing lights, no line across the floor
Just two fugitives who don’t need a door
We trade our secrets at the county sign
You put your hand in mine and call it fine
I lost the chase, but found the only place
Where every wild escape leads back to your face
[Outro]
Dispatch, cancel every call tonight
The suspect stole my heart and made it right
