Skin and Haze III (έκδοση 2)

Verse

Black asphalt cooling under the tires

Headlights cut through the amber sky

Engine ticking with one slow beat

Rust and chrome in my eyes

The mirror glows where the streetlight bends

Your voice low through a cracked window screen

Fingers tracing the seam of leather and steel

Nothing but the quiet, nothing to steal

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it humming just beneath our skin

A hundred nights we never knew were kin

One more turn before the sunrise leans in

Hold my hand tight, don't let the wheels spin out again

Chorus

Skin and haze on a quiet road tonight

Bass still low beneath the fading light

Your heartbeat locks with mine at this same pace

We ride it out into an empty space

Verse 2

Rearview glass turns silver and gold

Your palm finds mine, no need to be told

The stereo's warm but the engine's cold

Just your breath on my neck, that's all we hold

Concrete dust rising off the curbstone floor

A single red taillight disappearing through the door

Nothing behind us anymore

Nothing ahead but this one long pull forward

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it humming just beneath our skin

A hundred nights we never knew were kin

One more turn before the sunrise leans in

Hold my hand tight, don't let the wheels spin out again

Chorus

Skin and haze on a quiet road tonight

Bass still low beneath the fading light

Your heartbeat locks with mine at this same pace

We ride it out into an empty space

Bridge

Windows fogging where our palms press in

The whole city breathing slow, begins to let us in

No clock ticking, no reason to run

Just you and me and this one engine's hum

Chorus

Skin and haze on a quiet road tonight

Bass still low beneath the fading light

Your heartbeat locks with mine at this same pace

We ride it out into an empty space
