[Verse 1]
Black paint
Street fade
Dash glow on your face
Little shoes kickin' at my seat
Back row giggles
Sticky drink
Backbeat
Seatbelt drumroll
Tapping time
Tired eyes in the mirror
Still shine
Empty road
All ours tonight
[low vocal register] No sound but a hum and the hard white lines
[Chorus]
Night drive in the R50
Kids half asleep in the back
Still with me
Engine talk loud in the quiet air
Bass in my chest
But the world out there
Is so still
So still
While we run
Run
Run this hill
[Verse 2]
Gear slide
Small hand on my arm
"They’re lights or stars?" both feel warm
Fast food bag crinkle
Fries on the floor
Laugh when we miss the exit
Take one more
Windows fog with their soft small breath
Speed sign flash
We just nod
No stress
Headlights paint our own low sky
Silence breaks when I tap that pedal
We fly
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[whispered vocals] Shh
Listen to it purr
Listen to them dream
Tiny soft snores under big machines
Half tank left
But I slow right down
Bassline heartbeat at the edge of town
[Chorus]
