Don’t know why

מילים

[Verse 1] Zip it up the spine, pull the collar to my chin Smell the laundered cotton, feel the seams against my skin Nobody waved me over, nobody knows my name I'm just another number on a car inside a frame But something in the mirror stands a little more upright Like the suit already knows the corners I should fight [Pre-Chorus] It ain't the shine, it ain't the crowd It ain't the cameras, it ain't the sound It's the quiet when the visor comes down [Chorus] I don't know why, I don't know how But I love the way the world goes soft and far away somehow When the helmet locks and the buckle clicks I'm a wall they can't see through, and I love it, I love it Don't need a spotlight, don't need a crowd Just a suit and a name they'll never figure out I don't know why, I don't know how But I love the way it feels to disappear inside the shell [Verse 2] Fireproof on my shoulders, laces double-knotted tight Out there I'm a stranger made of carbon and of light They can cheer the car, they can read the sponsor's sign But the face beneath the padding isn't anybody's business but mine I eat at the same table, I drive the same old streets But I walk in wearing armor from my collar to my feet [Pre-Chorus] It ain't the trophies, ain't the fame They can keep the podium, keep my name It's the hush before the green flag starts to flame [Chorus] I don't know why, I don't know how But I love the way the world goes soft and far away somehow When the helmet locks and the buckle clicks I'm a wall they can't see through, and I love it, I love it Don't need a spotlight, don't need a crowd Just a suit and a name they'll never figure out I don't know why, I don't know how But I love the way it feels to disappear inside the shell [Bridge] Maybe I'm just tired of being looked at Maybe everybody wants a door they can close Out here I'm a shape, a speed, a signal And underneath it, nobody has to know Nobody has to know [Chorus] I don't know why, I don't know how But I love the way the world goes soft and far away somehow When the helmet locks and the buckle clicks I'm a wall they can't see through, and I love it, I love it Don't need a spotlight, don't need a crowd Just a suit and a name they'll never figure out I don't know why, I don't know how But I love the way it feels to disappear inside the shell [Outro] Zip it up the spine, pull the collar to my chin Nobody sees me, and that's where I begin
