Diverted Route (version 3)

Verse

Sat nav's crackling, screen gone dim

Driver shrugs and we follow him

Backstreet lit up in blue and red

Nowhere near where the app'ish said

Windows down on the ring road bend

Postcode's lost but I don't pretend

Your knee's tapping the four on floor

We weren't going that way before

Pre-Chorus

Miles keep bending, don't know where

Chest still lifting, hands in air

Every wrong turn feels this right

Let the meter run all night

Chorus

Take the diverted route

Take the diverted route

Don't need the map, just chase the sound

Take the diverted route

Verse

Roundabout twice, we don't ask why

Streetlamp strobing like a low-key sky

Radio hums through the driver's seat

Bassline leaking off the back street beat

Every left turn feels like a clue

Windscreen fogging, me and you

Half past two and the town's still spinning

This ain't the end, it's just the beginning

Pre-Chorus

Miles keep bending, don't know where

Chest still lifting, hands in air

Every wrong turn feels this right

Let the meter run all night

Chorus

Take the diverted route

Take the diverted route

Don't need the map, just chase the sound

Take the diverted route

Bridge

Forget the exit, forget the name

Every backroad feels the same

Just the hum and the amber glow

Doesn't matter which way we go

Chorus

Take the diverted route

Take the diverted route

Don't need the map, just chase the sound

Take the diverted route
