[Intro]
Bought the bike outta spite
Cash on the counter, eyes dry, cold light
"Take the helmet," dealer grins, "you'll fly"
"That's the plan," I reply
[Verse 1]
Ex called, said she "needed space"
Found his shoes by her bed, same day
So I blew my savings on a matte black flame
Two wheels for the hurt I can't say
Twist throttle like I'm twistin' that knife
Gear up, tear up, disappear from my life
Speed blur, street burn, veins iced
Every red sign lookin' kinda like "try"
[Chorus]
I'm livin' on a redline, mama say I'm out my mind
Tears on her face, I just see the white lines
Screamin' down the highway, beggin' for a flatline
Heart broke once, now I'm tryna break mine
(yeah, yeah)
If I crash out, tell her that I meant it
Every mile revenge, every corner, every exit
Fast life, reckless, prayin' I don't die
But I only feel alive when I make her cry
[Verse 2]
Mama in the doorway, robe, house lights
"Baby, please slow down, I had three bad dreams last night"
She smell coffee, I smell gasoline
She see my baby pics, I see bloody scenes
Helmet on the counter, say I'm "just goin' for a spin"
She see right through that shaky little grin
"You can't outrun pain," she say, voice thin
"But I can outpace thinkin' 'bout her with him" (yeah)
[Chorus]
I'm livin' on a redline, mama say I'm out my mind
Tears on her face, I just see the white lines
Screamin' down the highway, beggin' for a flatline
Heart broke once, now I'm tryna break mine
(oh, oh)
If I crash out, tell her that I meant it
Every mile revenge, every corner, every exit
Fast life, reckless, prayin' I don't die
But I only feel alive when I make her cry
[Bridge]
[Beat drops, guitars thin out]
Rain hit the visor like a heart attack
Phone buzzin' in my pocket, "boy, call me back"
Her name pop up, I just kill the sound
Engine roar louder, drownin' every doubt
Mama in the kitchen with a prayer on loop
I'm out here testin' if the angels shoot
Ask me if I care if I see sunrise
I just twist that grip till the pain gets quiet
[Chorus]
I'm livin' on a redline, mama say I'm out my mind
Hands on her cross, I'm hands on the white lines
Screamin' down the highway, dancin' with a flatline
Heart broke once, now I'm tryna break mine
(yeah, yeah)
If I crash out, tell her that I meant it
Every mile revenge, every corner, every exit
Fast life, reckless, mama, so am I
And I'm scared as you are
But I don't know how to try
