We're running on pulse overdrive (Version 2)

Verse

Sun's on fire at eighty-nine degrees

Boardwalk lights and salt on the breeze

Sneakers slapping on the sunbleached street

Radio screaming under my feet

Sixteen summers, we don't know the brakes

Chlorine skin and the heat we make

Cannonball off the high concrete edge

Every heartbeat on the ragged edge

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the engine turning

Gasoline in every vein

Summer's loud and we are burning

Nothing here to lose again

Chorus

We're running on pulse overdrive

Under a neon summer sky

Ninety-nine and we're still alive

Pulse overdrive, pulse overdrive

Every mile, every scream, every high

Pulse overdrive

Verse

Truck bed rattling down the county line

Fireflies catching in the headlights shine

Popsicle sticks on the dashboard floor

We keep chasing that horizon door

Gravel dust on our bare-skin legs

Water tower where the daylight begs

Count to ten and we jump the lake

Every second is ours to take

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel the engine turning

Gasoline in every vein

Summer's loud and we are burning

Nothing here to lose again

Chorus

We're running on pulse overdrive

Under a neon summer sky

Ninety-nine and we're still alive

Pulse overdrive, pulse overdrive

Every mile, every scream, every high

Pulse overdrive

Bridge

Someday we'll be grown and gone

Chasing clocks instead of dawn

But right now the engine's screaming young

Right now this song's still sung

Hold my hand, don't let it slow

This is the only speed we know

Chorus

We're running on pulse overdrive

Under a neon summer sky

Ninety-nine and we're still alive

Pulse overdrive, pulse overdrive

Every mile, every scream, every high

Pulse overdrive
