[Verse 1]
You left me in the rain
With a name I couldn't wear
I kept your empty words
Like old grease in my hair
My bike sat dead for weeks
Under dust and hard regret
I stared at the dented tank
And I stared at what was left
[Pre-Chorus]
But I got hands
And I got time
One busted heart
Can learn to ride
I kicked that night
Out of my chest
Turned the key
And cut the rest
[Chorus]
I was broke, I was bruised
Now I'm back in motion
Spinning through the hurt
Like a wheel in the ocean
Yeah, I came undone
Then I came alive
On a little black bike
I survived, I survived
[Verse 2]
I found myself in grit
In the smell of warm fuel
In the scar on my knuckles
In the road I had to rule
Then I saw her at the stop
With a laugh that lit me up
She said, "You look like a storm"
I said, "Baby, that's enough"
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I got a spark
Where the hurt used to be
And every mile back home
Feels like it belongs to me
I let the past fly off
In the mirror's silver line
Then she climbed on behind me
And the whole world felt right
[Chorus]
I was broke, I was bruised
Now I'm back in motion
Spinning through the hurt
Like a wheel in the ocean
Yeah, I came undone
Then I came alive
On a little black bike
I survived, I survived
[Bridge]
You don't get to keep
What you tried to take
I made a better heart
From the pieces you broke
And now she holds my waist
While the engine sings
Funny how the worst of you
Built the best in me
[Final Chorus]
I was broke, I was bruised
Now I'm back in motion
Spinning through the hurt
Like a wheel in the ocean
Yeah, I came undone
Then I came alive
On a little black bike
I survived, I survived
Now I ride to her
And I don't look back
Heart in the clear
Tail light down the track
