Signal Break

(hmmm) (go) The asphalt stretches out in cool gray lines

We cross the intersection,

chasing signs

A quiet rush beneath the heavy sky

No looking back, just watch the hours go by

Green to amber, amber to red

(hurry now)

Run through the intersection,

clear the street

Feel the electric friction underneath

An announcer calling out your name

Nothing is ever going to look the same

We coast along the shoulder,

catching wind

Another stretch of highway to begin

The dashboard glowing like a distant spark

We trace our own trajectory in the dark

Keep the pace, count the beat Only the sound of our feet

(one, two, three, go)

Run through the intersection,

clear the street

Feel the electric friction underneath

An announcer calling out your name

Nothing is ever going to look the same

Into the dark (shhh)
