[Intro: Drums & Vocal Scats]
(Yeah-yeah-yeah) (Oye-ye, mmm-mmm) (Shift the rhythm now) (Uh-huh, feel the groove)
[Verse 1]
Midnight gospel in a dark sedan, performance from a hidden man
Preaching a sermon then you rush to hide the proof
Funny how the pulpit never wants the truth (Never wants it!)
But I cleared the dashboard, threw the map away
Trading all the midnight games for the break of day (Break of day!)
[Pre-Chorus: Syncopated Claps Build]
An hour and fifteen down the line (Driving fast)
Leaving the shadows and the fakes behind
First shift rising, stepping in the sun
Look at the life that we've begun... (We just begun!)
[Beat Drop]
[Chorus: Full Heavy Groove]
'Cause you’re a quiet kind of steady, an open-hearted space! (So steady!)
Holding all my history and wreckage with your grace (With your grace!)
No more hiding in the dark, no more secrets to repeat
Just a highway on a Saturday where parallel pieces meet (Parallel pieces!)
Yeah, we're stepping into the light! (Into the light!) Leaving the night shift behind!
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Repeating Hook]
Steady grooving, yeah, we're moving (Moving on!)
No more pullbacks, nothing losing
An hour out to Reading, yeah, we're going all the way
Stepping in the light today! (Stepping in the light!)
[Verse 2]
Grounded Christian roots, rewriting Witness lines
Two Irish twins who finally learned to read the signs (I see you, yeah)
You’ve got your daughter, got your boy navigating clear
And I don’t feel like a distraction when I'm standing right here
'Cause when the morning broke, the walls didn't appear
Intimacy over and over, keeping you right near (Right near, mmm!)
[Bridge: Rhythmic Building Chant]
You didn't pull away... (No) you didn't rush to wash the skin (Never that!)
You stayed right by my side, letting the genuine warmth pour in
No more watering a hollow seed, begging for a crumb
Yeah, look at what we've begun! (Look what we started!)
[Chorus: Stripped Acapella to Beat Drop]
[Acapella]
'Cause you’re a quiet kind of steady, an open-hearted space...
Holding all my history and wreckage with your grace...
[Bass & Drums Drop In Full Force]
No more hiding in the dark, no more secrets to repeat!
Just a highway on a Saturday where parallel pieces meet! (Parallel pieces!)
[Post-Chorus: Catchy Repeating Hook]
Steady grooving, yeah, we're moving (Moving on!)
No more pullbacks, nothing losing
An hour out to Reading, yeah, we're going all the way
Stepping in the light today!
[Outro: Minimalist Drum & Fading Synth]
An hour out to Reading... (Reading, yeah)
First shift rising. (Rising up!)
Just the sun. (Ooh, just the sun)
Steady ground, yeah. (Steady ground)
(Yeah-yeah-yeah) (Steady grooving)
[Fade Out]
