Verse 1
Static on velvet, two AM alive
Your jacket hits the strobe, overdrive
Sub-bass vibrating right through my shoes
Every glass on the bar shakes in twos
Pre-Chorus
Kick drum bends the light on the wall
One step and we're starting to fall
Catching my speed on the floor
Feel what the speakers are for
Chorus
We run in a parallel afterglow
Painting the dark everywhere we go
Violet and gold on a two-lane track
Moving too fast to be looking back
You match my pulse on the other side
We run in a parallel afterglow
Verse 2
Prism on your collar, sweat on your cheek
High notes ringing out when you speak
Floorboards tilting thirty degrees
Tangled in ribbons of laser beams
Pre-Chorus
Kick drum bends the light on the wall
One step and we're starting to fall
Catching my speed on the floor
Feel what the speakers are for
Chorus
We run in a parallel afterglow
Painting the dark everywhere we go
Violet and gold on a two-lane track
Moving too fast to be looking back
You match my pulse on the other side
We run in a parallel afterglow
Bridge
Doors swing wide to the boulevard mist
Streetlights flash with an amber twist
One tempo hammering out of the chest
Morning breaks while we outrun the rest
Chorus
We run in a parallel afterglow
Painting the dark everywhere we go
Violet and gold on a two-lane track
Moving too fast to be looking back
You match my pulse on the other side
We run in a parallel afterglow
