Race Me Past the Final Turn

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Red numbers climbing on the dash Helmet tight, I hear the latch Tires hum against the lane Rain beads sliding down the frame You lean close, say, "Hold the line" Green light cuts the starting sign Engine heat beneath our feet Every corner dares defeat [Pre-Chorus] No room left to hesitate Brake lights blur, we tempt the gate Your hand finds mine, then lets it go We chase the place the brave ones know [Chorus] Race me past the final turn Watch the painted markers burn Side by side, we take the night Two fast hearts and one green light Race me till the road runs wide Keep your shoulder close beside If we lose, we lose in flight Race me past the final turn tonight [Verse 2] Chrome flashes under overpass Gearshift snaps, we let it pass Needle dancing near the red Every doubt is left behind instead You laugh once through the radio Then the straightaway starts to glow Fuel and thunder, steel and rain We write our names across the lane [Pre-Chorus] No room left to hesitate Brake lights blur, we tempt the gate Your hand finds mine, then lets it go We chase the place the brave ones know [Chorus] Race me past the final turn Watch the painted markers burn Side by side, we take the night Two fast hearts and one green light Race me till the road runs wide Keep your shoulder close beside If we lose, we lose in flight Race me past the final turn tonight [Bridge] Cut the motor, count to three Silence hanging over me One more breath, the signal drops Then we leave the world behind its stops [Final Chorus] Race me past the final turn Watch the painted markers burn Side by side, we take the night Two fast hearts and one green light Race me till the road runs wide Keep your shoulder close beside If we lose, we lose in flight Race me past the final turn tonight [Outro] Final turn, no looking back Two red taillights on the black Final turn, the morning starts Still got speed inside our hearts
