Verse
Neon bleed on the wet street concrete
Your eyes in my rearview light beam
Every block turns gold in the red shift haze
I can't lose you in this chrome steam
Red tail lights slide into amber
The city breathes slow, a heavy sigh
We're two shadows locked in the same slow ride
Wherever I go, you don't say goodbye
Pre-Chorus
Let the engine idle where the light turns cold
One more block down before we let go
Is your hand on mine under the hood line?
Tell me one reason why this never ends
Chorus
Red shift blues run deep in our veins
Every mile is just a little bit of the same
Neon haze and the city's slow gold spin
Red shift blues, I'm not letting you go in
Verse 2
Rainwater runs like mercury on chrome steel
Your eyes flash green when the light cuts through
I don't ask where we're headed or why we drift
Only that your hand keeps finding mine
We ride through alleys thick with yellow smoke
Every streetlight turns gold like a slow-burn flame
I'm not chasing what's behind, only you in this haze
Is it just the rhythm that keeps us here in the frame
Pre-Chorus
Let the engine idle where the light turns cold
One more block down before we let go
Is your hand on mine under the hood line?
Tell me one reason why this never ends
Chorus
Red shift blues run deep in our veins
Every mile is just a little bit of the same
Neon haze and the city's slow gold spin
Red shift blues, I'm not letting you go in
Bridge
No more names or streets or time to tell
Just this heat, this low hum, this red glow swell
If I lose your hand right here tonight
The engine dies but nothing will be light
This is the one thing that keeps us on the move
That we don't speak a word when the light turns cool
Chorus
Red shift blues run deep in our veins
Every mile is just a little bit of the same
Neon haze and the city's slow gold spin
Red shift blues, I'm not letting you go in
