Red Shift Blues 2 (Version 2)

Verse

Neon bleed on the wet street concrete

Your eyes in my rearview light beam

Every block turns gold in the red shift haze

I can't lose you in this chrome steam

Red tail lights slide into amber

The city breathes slow, a heavy sigh

We're two shadows locked in the same slow ride

Wherever I go, you don't say goodbye

Pre-Chorus

Let the engine idle where the light turns cold

One more block down before we let go

Is your hand on mine under the hood line?

Tell me one reason why this never ends

Chorus

Red shift blues run deep in our veins

Every mile is just a little bit of the same

Neon haze and the city's slow gold spin

Red shift blues, I'm not letting you go in

Verse 2

Rainwater runs like mercury on chrome steel

Your eyes flash green when the light cuts through

I don't ask where we're headed or why we drift

Only that your hand keeps finding mine

We ride through alleys thick with yellow smoke

Every streetlight turns gold like a slow-burn flame

I'm not chasing what's behind, only you in this haze

Is it just the rhythm that keeps us here in the frame

Pre-Chorus

Let the engine idle where the light turns cold

One more block down before we let go

Is your hand on mine under the hood line?

Tell me one reason why this never ends

Chorus

Red shift blues run deep in our veins

Every mile is just a little bit of the same

Neon haze and the city's slow gold spin

Red shift blues, I'm not letting you go in

Bridge

No more names or streets or time to tell

Just this heat, this low hum, this red glow swell

If I lose your hand right here tonight

The engine dies but nothing will be light

This is the one thing that keeps us on the move

That we don't speak a word when the light turns cool

Chorus

Red shift blues run deep in our veins

Every mile is just a little bit of the same

Neon haze and the city's slow gold spin

Red shift blues, I'm not letting you go in
