Redline Anthem

Verse

M: Asphalt's cooking, engine's turning over

F: Windows down since the day we got out

M: Chlorine skin and a four dollar soda

F: Speakers cranked till the bassline shouts

M: Nineteen summers stacked in the glovebox

F: Sunburn map of the towns we've been

M: Redline's climbing, we don't touch the clutch, no

F: Foot stays down till the tank runs thin

Pre-Chorus

M: Can you hear that engine screaming

F: Can you feel the heat rise

M: Every second's worth the redline

F: Foot down, close your eyes

Chorus

All: We're running on the redline, young and wide awake

Hands up, hearts on fire, this is ours to take

Sun's still burning, we don't need the brake

We're running on the redline till the summer breaks

Running on the redline

This is ours to take

Verse

F: Gravel road kicks dust up behind us

M: Radio catching every station half right

F: Somebody's cousin brought the fireworks

M: We're setting off before the dark turns night

F: Sixteen dollars left between the whole crew

M: Spent it all on gas and a bag of ice

F: Don't need much when the sky's this open

All: Every mile out here feels paid in advance

Pre-Chorus

M: Can you hear that engine screaming

F: Can you feel the heat rise

M: Every second's worth the redline

F: Foot down, close your eyes

Chorus

All: We're running on the redline, young and wide awake

Hands up, hearts on fire, this is ours to take

Sun's still burning, we don't need the brake

We're running on the redline till the summer breaks

Running on the redline

This is ours to take

Bridge

M: One day this dust will settle

F: One day the tank runs dry

M: But right now the sky's still gold

F: And nothing here says goodbye

All: So let it burn, let it burn, let it burn tonight

Chorus

All: We're running on the redline, young and wide awake

Hands up, hearts on fire, this is ours to take

Sun's still burning, we don't need the brake

We're running on the redline till the summer breaks

Running on the redline

Running on the redline

This is ours to take
