[Intro]
Yeah
Late night again
City don’t sleep, neither do I
[Verse 1]
Streetlights flicker on the passenger side
Same road I took a hundred different nights
Tank on E but I still keep driving
Something about the dark feels quiet
Everybody got a place they run to
Mine’s four wheels and a midnight view
Windows cracked with the cold air blowing
Trying to figure out where my life’s going
Old me still stuck in the rearview
Small town kid with some big issues
Now the skyline shining like gold dust
Funny how pain turns dreams into focus
[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t got it all figured out
Still learning what this life’s about
But when the bass hits, thoughts fade out
For a minute, everything slows down
[Chorus]
So I ride through the city at 2 a.m.
Thinking who I was and who I am
Lost some people, made some memories
Now their voices still ride with me
Deep 808s under moonlight skies
Half these scars I don’t even hide
If the road keeps going, I’ll be alright
Just me, the synths, and the late-night drive
[Verse 2]
Momma said life moves way too fast
One day you’re young, then it’s all in the past
Now my little brothers getting older
And the world keeps resting on my shoulders
But I keep pushing, never folding
Even when the nights feel frozen
Cause I remember all the days we prayed
Hoping one day we’d escape this place
Now I see my reflection clearer
In the dark with the music louder
Not perfect, but I’m still growing
That’s the part nobody notices
[Bridge]
City lights look like stars on the pavement
Every wrong turn still taught me something
Maybe healing ain’t a straight line
Maybe peace is just this moment
[Final Chorus]
So I ride through the city at 2 a.m.
Heart still heavy but I breathe again
All this time I was chasing meaning
When the whole time life was the feeling
Deep bass echo through the night air
Dreams alive even when I’m scared
And if tomorrow changes everything
Tonight I finally feel like me
