Pulse of the City 2 (versione 2)

Verse 1

Neon hums through the cracked windowpane

Bassline bleeding into my brain

Your hand lands soft on the gearshift's worn wood

We're cruising like nobody's watching us here

Palm trees sway slow out in the streetlight haze

Every mile is borrowed, not ours to repay

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing higher with every turn

Is that the engine purring or my heart that learns

Is this just the night, or is this something real?

Can't tell yet, but I'm ready to heal

Chorus

Hold on to the pulse of the city tonight

Pulse of the city

Keep it alive in your heartbeat tonight

Pulse of the city

We don't need more than one streetlight shining bright

Pulse of the city

Every single mile of this long night is ours to write

Verse 2

Fenders rusted where a chrome stripe used to be

Your shadow stretches out across the curbline, free

Engine coughs and sputters but we don't slow down

We've been running for hours and neither one's letting go

Streetlights stutter like they can't decide what to do

Every streetlamp flickers 'cause it wants this ride too

Pre-Chorus

Can you feel it climbing higher with every turn

Is that the engine purring or my heart that learns

Is this just the night, or is this something real?

Can't tell yet, but I'm ready to heal

Chorus

Hold on to the pulse of the city tonight

Pulse of the city

Keep it alive in your heartbeat tonight

Pulse of the city

We don't need more than one streetlight shining bright

Pulse of the city

Every single mile of this long night is ours to write

Bridge

Maybe every engine cough is just a drumbeat

Maybe the whole world's turning and we're not late yet

So I'll hold on tight and let it pull me under

Where the dashboard turns silver, so can our future

Nothing left behind but the glow of the streetlight

Just two engines burning for one single mile

Chorus

Hold on to the pulse of the city tonight

Pulse of the city

Keep it alive in your heartbeat tonight

Pulse of the city

We don't need more than one streetlight shining bright

Pulse of the city

Every single mile of this long night is ours to write

Outro

Still holding on, still riding into the gold

Hold on to the pulse of the city 'til it turns cold
