Run It Till the Haze (वर्ज़न 2)

Verse

Walls are painted with the same red fire we breathed out on Tuesday night

Streetlights bending through the diesel smoke like they're trying to see what I'm doing tonight

Engine's roaring soft beneath my palm like it remembers every name in this block

Windows cracked wide, the sirens wait outside where we don't wanna go

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it climbing through the exhaust and the rain

We're still burning when the whole city goes grey

Every engine turning into one long call to stay

Chorus

Run it till the haze folds soft behind us

Every block's a border we don't understand yet

Hold the wheel like the night won't let go of this

Keep on running till the hush turns gold

Verse

Rust on the exhaust pipe shining like a badge from every war that nobody tells

Tires screech but it feels like flying through the amber veil where we used to be before

Radio's static, just one low hum keeping time with the engine's growl and my heartbeat

Somebody's laughing through the cracked window on the passenger side of this runaway road

Pre-Chorus

Can you hear it climbing through the exhaust and the rain

We're still burning when the whole city goes grey

Every engine turning into one long call to stay

Chorus

Run it till the haze folds soft behind us

Every block's a border we don't understand yet

Hold the wheel like the night won't let go of this

Keep on running till the hush turns gold

Bridge

Maybe tomorrow the engines fall still

The city wakes up cold, counts every door that's shut

But tonight it's ours — this whole four-lane aisle lit silver and orange like a promise we can't afford to break

Tonight I'm not scared of what comes next because right now the only thing I hear is us staying awake

Chorus

Run it till the haze folds soft behind us

Every block's a border we don't understand yet

Hold the wheel like the night won't let go of this

Keep on running till the hush turns gold
