Verse
Sun's on fire at eighty-nine degrees
Boardwalk lights and salt on the breeze
Sneakers slapping on the sunbleached street
Radio screaming under my feet
Sixteen summers, we don't know the brakes
Chlorine skin and the heat we make
Cannonball off the high concrete edge
Every heartbeat on the ragged edge
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the engine turning
Gasoline in every vein
Summer's loud and we are burning
Nothing here to lose again
Chorus
We're running on pulse overdrive
Under a neon summer sky
Ninety-nine and we're still alive
Pulse overdrive, pulse overdrive
Every mile, every scream, every high
Pulse overdrive
Verse
Truck bed rattling down the county line
Fireflies catching in the headlights shine
Popsicle sticks on the dashboard floor
We keep chasing that horizon door
Gravel dust on our bare-skin legs
Water tower where the daylight begs
Count to ten and we jump the lake
Every second is ours to take
Pre-Chorus
Can you feel the engine turning
Gasoline in every vein
Summer's loud and we are burning
Nothing here to lose again
Chorus
We're running on pulse overdrive
Under a neon summer sky
Ninety-nine and we're still alive
Pulse overdrive, pulse overdrive
Every mile, every scream, every high
Pulse overdrive
Bridge
Someday we'll be grown and gone
Chasing clocks instead of dawn
But right now the engine's screaming young
Right now this song's still sung
Hold my hand, don't let it slow
This is the only speed we know
Chorus
We're running on pulse overdrive
Under a neon summer sky
Ninety-nine and we're still alive
Pulse overdrive, pulse overdrive
Every mile, every scream, every high
Pulse overdrive
