Verse
Sat nav's crackling, screen gone dim
Driver shrugs and we follow him
Backstreet lit up in blue and red
Nowhere near where the app'ish said
Windows down on the ring road bend
Postcode's lost but I don't pretend
Your knee's tapping the four on floor
We weren't going that way before
Pre-Chorus
Miles keep bending, don't know where
Chest still lifting, hands in air
Every wrong turn feels this right
Let the meter run all night
Chorus
Take the diverted route
Take the diverted route
Don't need the map, just chase the sound
Take the diverted route
Verse
Roundabout twice, we don't ask why
Streetlamp strobing like a low-key sky
Radio hums through the driver's seat
Bassline leaking off the back street beat
Every left turn feels like a clue
Windscreen fogging, me and you
Half past two and the town's still spinning
This ain't the end, it's just the beginning
Pre-Chorus
Miles keep bending, don't know where
Chest still lifting, hands in air
Every wrong turn feels this right
Let the meter run all night
Chorus
Take the diverted route
Take the diverted route
Don't need the map, just chase the sound
Take the diverted route
Bridge
Forget the exit, forget the name
Every backroad feels the same
Just the hum and the amber glow
Doesn't matter which way we go
Chorus
Take the diverted route
Take the diverted route
Don't need the map, just chase the sound
Take the diverted route
