Strangers in the backseat city hum’s a lullaby
Silhouettes in rearview glass fading with the sky
No confessions just the tension
Sipping on a moment we won’t define

And I pull the static closer
Your eyes say more than closure
Burning through the calm again—mmm ahh—yeah

We crash like it's art no frame can hold us
Running on fumes but the night still chose us
Pulse in sync no need for fate
Ooh—yeah keep me in that state
(Hey!) keep me in that—(uh!) state

Tuned to our own channel we’re no one's broadcast
We don't leave trails only moments that last
No compass no plans
Just two outliers with no demands

Every glitch is gold tonight
We’re wired for the fight or flight
Touch like gravity—hmm—aah—pulls me right

We crash like it's art no frame can hold us
Running on fumes but the night still chose us
Pulse in sync no need for fate
Ooh—yeah keep me in that state
(Hey!) keep me in that—(uh!) state

No rewind just loops we bend
Every second a means not the end
Not broken—just bent in rhythm

Hah—mm-mm—hah
Cold air warm static—
No words left just the habit

[Final Chorus]
We crash like it's art no frame can hold us
Running on fumes but the night still chose us
Pulse in sync no need for fate
Ooh—yeah keep me in that state
(Hey!) keep me in that—(uh!) state—woah

It’s not silence
It’s the air pretending to be still

The dust dances before I move
As if the room breathes first
I watch a sunbeam stretch across the floor
Like it’s trying to escape the day

I’ve stopped calling it waiting
It’s just me —
And the things I never say
Arranging themselves
In rows
In dust

Time doesn't knock
It lets itself in
And leaves fingerprints
On the corners of thoughts I avoid

I’ve stopped naming the weight
It’s just there —
In the space between the ticks
In the stillness
That isn’t

When the air pretends to be still
I know I’ve already moved

I'm feelin' scared and lonely
Thinkin' I won't be forgiven
I hear my momma callin' and I start to question livin'
She said the door is always open
You just need to listen
You can turn it all around and just stop your wishin'

She said
She said
She said

Everybody gets a last chance
A fresh start
A new heart
Baby
If you wanna get on my train
You can hop on right now
Baby
Everybody gets a last chance
A fresh start
A new heart
Baby
If you wanna get on my train
You can hop on right now
Baby

My knees start shakin'
Heart is racin'
Got a cold sweat
Startin' to realize what I'm thinkin' might be true
Yeah
When you hit rock bottom
There's a ladder up to you
Yeah
But first you gotta listen when your mama tells you

She said
She said
She said

Everybody gets a last chance
A fresh start
A new heart
Baby
If you wanna get on my train
You can hop on right now
Baby
Everybody gets a last chance
A fresh start
A new heart
Baby
If you wanna get on my train
You can hop on right now
Baby
Everybody gets a last chance
A fresh start
A new heart
Baby
If you wanna get on my train
You can hop on right now
Baby
Everybody gets a last chance
A fresh start
A new heart
Baby
If you wanna get on my train
You can hop on right now
Baby

You feel that?
Yeah don’t think—just move

Left foot right foot
Back again
No need to talk
We understand

Move—
Without asking
Move—
Without asking

You're here I’m here
That’s the sign
No past no plan
Just feel the time

Eyes locked no blinking
No space for overthinking

Close the gap
No words
Just that

No reason
No name
Just rhythm
In flame

You didn’t ask—
You moved

It's rainy outside snowing outside
And pour me in ice cold water swell my chest
To make me hard to weep to lie to lie
But I will find another route
Yeah

'Cause
Baby
It's easy for me now
And if I have another chance
I will never ask a second chance

For now you recognize the sound
The sound is good
For now you recognize the light
The source of the light
(Uh) (ah)
(Ah)

Saw me very low
And use to call me mad as bad as you could
But hush
My baby
I don't mind
It's what sublime
Sublime

But make after now it's easy for me finally
Seems that I never felt you love me truly anyway

For now you recognize the sound
The sound is good
For now you recognize the light
The source of the light
(Uh) (uh)
(Ah)
(Ah)

We’re tracing cracks across the floor
Where we danced before the walls wore thin
Time doesn’t heal it just rearranges
And I’m still finding pieces of where we’ve been

You said forever but forever’s a lie
A shadow that lingers when the sun says goodbye
I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
On the edge of a memory I let it slip

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

The clock keeps ticking but it feels so slow
Every second’s a weight I can’t let go
I see your face in every crowded room
A ghost of a love that met its doom

You said forever but forever’s a lie
A shadow that lingers when the sun says goodbye
I’m holding on but I’m losing my grip
On the edge of a memory I let it slip

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

And if I could turn back the hands
Would I choose to love you again?
Or let the silence win
And never begin?

We built a world that couldn’t last
A house of cards in a hurricane’s path
Now I’m sifting through the aftermath
Of a love that burned too bright too fast
(Oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh)

I’m tracing cracks across the floor
But I can’t find us there anymore

I saw your name in the window light
spelled out backwards on a passing bus
city heat on a borrowed bike
and a little bit of trouble looking back at us

You had a laugh like a camera flash
gone too soon but it burned the room
I had a heart with a broken latch
swinging open to a silver moon

We don't need forever to feel electric
just a little voltage under the skin
You move like velvet circuits
turning all my lonely lights on again
If the night tries to sell us silence
we'll answer with a melody and grin
You move like velvet circuits
and I keep coming back to begin

Coffee cold on a rooftop stair
bassline leaking from a taxi door
You tied a ribbon in your midnight hair
said the future isn't hungry anymore

I was counting every exit sign
making maps out of ways to leave
Then you put your hand inside of mine
like a rhythm that remembered me

We don't need forever to feel electric
just a little voltage under the skin
You move like velvet circuits
turning all my lonely lights on again
If the night tries to sell us silence
we'll answer with a melody and grin
You move like velvet circuits
and I keep coming back to begin

All my static turns to motion
all my caution learns to shine
There's a pulse beneath the pavement
keeping perfect crooked time

We don't need forever to feel electric
just a little voltage under the skin
You move like velvet circuits
turning all my lonely lights on again
If the night tries to sell us silence
we'll answer with a melody and grin
You move like velvet circuits
and I keep coming back to begin

Velvet circuits in the crosswalk glow
Velvet circuits and the city knows
Velvet circuits when the morning spins
I keep coming back to begin

The shutters lean half-open
On a street rinsed clean by rain
A receipt curls in my pocket
Like it wants to speak your name

Glass shelves hold the evening
Silver bracelets folded blue
Someone laughs by the mirrors
Then the echo thins to two

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

Elevator doors are breathing
In the mall across the square
Mannequins wear patient faces
Under amber fitting-room glare

There is music in the hangers
When they slide along the rail
Tiny moons in every button
Tiny ships in every sale

I keep the counter glowing
Soft enough to let you stay
Every little hour slows down
When the day unpins its gray

Window light after eight
Moves across the polished floor
Nothing loud nothing late
Just the bell above the door
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

We don't have to call it waiting
We can call it closing slow
Let the streetlights choose the colors
Let the last few customers go

Window light after eight
A quiet gold along the door
Nothing loud nothing late
Just a rhythm asking for more
If you come in from the weather
With your collar turned against the air
I'll be humming with the register
Like I knew you'd find me there

I found it in a Sunday ad
Between a sofa and a wedding band
“Barely used no questions asked”
The seller wore a borrowed name

He said it worked on jealous hearts
On hotel clerks and parking guards
I paid in cash he wished me luck
Then vanished before the light changed

I practiced every detail
The hour the street the rain
But truth has lousy manners
It keeps interrupting names

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine

I said the train was running late
You knew that line from ’98
I blamed a man I’d never met
You said “At least invent him well”

I moved the evening half an hour
Changed the bar replaced the car
By then the lie had better shoes
And more ambition than the truth

I gave it dates and weather
A witness and a scar
You watched me build the ceiling
Then asked where the foundations are

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me twice
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
With someone else’s reasons inside
The story held the timing died
Now every version sounds like mine

Mine on Monday
Mine by five
Mine when I need
Someone else to survive

The seller called at 2:13
Said “That excuse belongs to me”
I told him he could have it back
He laughed and said “You made it yours”

You poured your drink into the sink
Not angry almost entertained
You said “The worst part isn’t this
It’s how rehearsed you look in pain”

So here’s the part I didn’t buy
No clever date no useful guy
I stayed because I liked the risk
I left because you noticed it

No missing train no broken phone
No nameless friend to take the blame
I wanted two incompatible things
And called confusion by your name

I bought a secondhand alibi
Cheap enough to fit my life
It worked until you asked me why
Now every version sounds like mine

I bought a secondhand alibi
But guilt was never in the price
Keep the story keep the night
Every version sounds like mine

The truth was sitting in the car
Patient as an unpaid fare
I opened up the passenger door
It said “You took your time”

Soft beats on the floor and the day feels new
I catch your rhythm every time you move

You walk in calm but you shift my space
Simple energy but it hits with grace
Nothing overwhelming nothing too loud
Just a quiet feeling I can’t tune out

You make the moment slow
You let the tension go
I don’t need much to know
You’re the place I follow

I’m steady with you
Everything falls into view
No rush no cue
Just a peace I drift into
I’m steady with you
Colors turn warm on cue
Feels easy feels true
Every time I stand with you

You bring a calm into the air I breathe
Something in your presence makes me feel released
I don’t wanna label what I can’t define
But there’s something simple sitting in your line

You make the moment slow
You let the tension go
I don’t need much to know
You’re the place I follow

I’m steady with you
Everything falls into view
No rush no cue
Just a peace I drift into
I’m steady with you
Colors turn warm on cue
Feels easy feels true
Every time I stand with you

If the day gets heavy I know what to do
I breathe in slow and I think of you

Switch flicked silence breaks
The circuit's live — no room for fakes

March to your own beat don't fall in line
Worn-out maps won’t match your design
You’re built of code they can't decrypt
A system glitch they can’t predict

Loose wires
Don’t spark — they sting
You weren’t made
To follow anything

They sold straight roads you built a maze
You reprogram old clichés
Noise is loud but you're the break
Crack the shell — make it quake

No signal
No trace
No script
New space

If it flickers — let it fade
You’re the current they can’t braid
