[Intro]
Headlights
Cutting through the cold
Your hand
Reaching for my shoulder
[Verse 1]
You: Map on your lap
Laughing at the wrong turn
Me: Foot on the gas
Every hairpin still burns
You: “Baby
We’re late”
Throw your phone on the floor
Me: “If the sun hits the lake
We can still make that door”
[Pre-Chorus]
You lean in
Say “faster”
I breathe in your fear and your faith
Cliff edge right past us
But all I taste is your name
[Chorus]
Race the ridge
We’re running out of sky
Watch the white lines blur as we fly
If the clock hands catch us
Let them try
I’ve got you
You’ve got me
Till the brakes give out tonight
Race the ridge
We’re stealing back the time
[Verse 2]
You: Hair in your face
Wind tearing at your coat
Me: One shallow lane
One trembling old road
You: “Take the inside”
Eyes bright
Wide
Alive
Me: “Trust me this time”
Shift down
We dive
[Pre-Chorus]
You scream then start laughing
Your fingers draw hearts on the glass
I miss our old fighting
I’d rather die here than go back
[Chorus]
Race the ridge
We’re running out of sky
Watch the white lines blur as we fly
If the clock hands catch us
Let them try
I’ve got you
You’ve got me
Till the brakes give out tonight
Race the ridge
We’re stealing back the time
[Bridge]
You: “If we’re too late
Will they lock that gate?”
Me: “If the doors all close
We jump the rails
We climb”
You: “Promise me this
We don’t rewind”
Both: “If this is it
We hit it at the same time” (same time)
[Chorus]
Race the ridge
We’re running out of sky
Watch the white lines blur as we fly
If the clock hands catch us
Let them try
I’ve got you
You’ve got me
Till the brakes give out tonight
Race the ridge (race the ridge)
We’re stealing back the time (oh-oh)
Race the ridge
We’re stealing back the time
