Track Insight / Lyrics
Flash on the window, silver and grey
Driving the midnight, drifting away
Damp on the shoulder, black on the road
Carry the weight of a heavy load
Hum of the asphalt, white lines in sight
Sprinting through tunnels of electric light
Keep the wheel steady, don't let it slow
Wherever the humming is telling us go
Sleeve of my jacket, smell of the rain
Cold in the marrow, dulling the pain
Your hand on the leather, steady and still
Racing the curve of a concrete hill
Hum of the asphalt, white lines in sight
Sprinting through tunnels of electric light
Keep the wheel steady, don't let it slow
Wherever the humming is telling us go
Suttering engine, shake in the floor
Looking for exits, searching for more
Candid snapshots, blur in the glass
Watching the markers and mile-posts pass
Hum of the asphalt, white lines in sight
Sprinting through tunnels of electric light
Keep the wheel steady, don't let it slow
Wherever the humming is telling us go
Hiss of the tires, spray on the rim
Streetlights are pulsing, gold and then dim
Syllables breaking, rhythm of speed
Giving the engine the fuel that it needs
Stop for a second, air in the lung
Tasting the salt on a desperate tongue
Two quiet strangers, one open map
Falling together in a sudden snap
Gears in the metal, click in the lock
Counting the seconds, ignoring the clock
Sprinting for sunrise, chasing the blue
Finding a version of me and of you
Hum of the asphalt, white lines in sight
Sprinting through tunnels of electric light
Keep the wheel steady, don't let it slow
Wherever the humming is telling us go
Hum of the asphalt, go.
Hum of the asphalt, go.
White lines in sight.
Just let it go.
