One more time

Red lights bleeding on the avenue

Same old stranger, same old déjà vu

Seven on the clock and I’m running late

But I’ve seen every second waiting at the gate

Engine turns, hear the countdown call

I know who’s gonna rise, I know who’s gonna fall

Every corner’s carved into my mind

Tell me, how do you outrun time?

Three, two, one—

Here we go again

Same road, same race

But I know how this one ends

So I’ll run it one more time

Burning rubber through the same old night

If tomorrow won’t come, then I’ll make this right

I’ve got nothing left to lose tonight

One more crash, one more finish line

One more chance to find the reason why

You can break my brakes, you can cross that line

But you can’t stop me when I’ve got

One more time

Coffee falls before it hits the floor

I know every face behind every door

Every word you’re gonna say to me

Every little lie that I couldn’t see

Thought I lost because I wasn’t fast

Thought the answer waited somewhere past

The checkered flag, but now I understand

Someone else has had their fingerprints on my hands

Three, two, one—

I’ve died here before

But every time you send me back

I come back knowing more

So I’ll run it one more time

Burning rubber through the same old night

If tomorrow won’t come, then I’ll make this right

I’ve got nothing left to lose tonight

One more crash, one more finish line

One more chance to find the reason why

You can break my brakes, you can cross that line

But you can’t stop me when I’ve got

One more time

Maybe time wasn’t keeping me here

Maybe it was showing me what I couldn’t see

I kept asking why I couldn’t win

When winning was never what I needed

Every failure

Every turn

Every scar

Every lesson learned

I wasn’t brought back to cross that line—

I was brought back to find out why.

Now I’ll run it one last time

No more shadows riding by my side

I know every trick, every sabotage

Every hidden hand that touched my car

One last turn, one last finish line

This time tomorrow’s waiting on the other side

You tried to choose the way my story dies—

But you forgot I’ve had forever

To learn how to survive

Three…

Two…

One…

The light turns green

And for the first time—

So does mine.
