[Verse 1]
Dashboard glow
Half past late
One hand on the wheel
Other on fate
Empty road
But my head’s too loud
Speedometer climbs
As the world slows down
[Pre-Chorus]
White lines
Thread through the dark
Heartbeat
Syncs with the car
Every turn
Answers my thoughts
I press down
Everything stops
[Chorus]
I got the rumble in my hands
Whole world shaking as I bend these plans
Every mile pulls me further from who I am
From who I am
Power in my fingertips
I breathe
Engine talking like it knows my grief
If I let go
Do I lose or do I leave?
Do I leave?
[Verse 2]
Rearview frame
Holds what I ran from
Songs on the stereo
I can’t stand
But I keep ’em on
Street signs blur
Like they’re scared of me
I trace the curve
Just to feel something
[Pre-Chorus]
Low hum
Under my skin
Gravel
Grinding my sins
Tiny push
And I could disappear
All this control
On a single gear
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Both hands
Lock tight
Knuckles pale
[low vocal register] Skid marks
Writing my name on the rails
I’m one small twitch
From falling through
But the road keeps saying
“It’s just you”
[crescendo] So I ride this line
Between fear and free
Let the tires talk back
For the parts of me
That never learned
How to hit the brakes
On all this hurt
That the highway takes
[Chorus]
