Starlight Velocity

(ooh-wah) Fresh white tee,

keys on the counter

Small room dreams turned into numbers You said,

"Don't let the climb change you"

I said, "I'm building a view

for two"

I keep my circle tight,

no rented applause

You see the price tag,

I remember the cost (ooh)

If I move fast it's because I know

How many nights made the engine grow

Take my hand, don't ask where we land

I've got a map drawn across my plans (yeah!)

New wheels turn but I don't forget

The bus stop rain and the unpaid checks

Now you ride close with your hand in mine

Same old heart in a sharper design

No gold can buy what we built in the quiet No crowd

can break what we refuse to deny

If the lights go out,

I still know your face

We walk in like we own the room

No borrowed shine, just a bigger view

You and me with the pressure on

Still make a way when the easy road's gone

(let's go!)

Doors swing wide

and the plan survives

You beside me, that's the flex of our lives
