Faster

you say
let's take a drive
and kill the headlights

no radio
no words
the dark surrounds us
keeps our secrets

hands off the wheel and eyes closed
the perfect night to leave home
I've got nothing to run from
but I'll run with you

you say it will be fine
cause no-one sees this
you say that it's ok
no-one will miss us
no-one comes looking

I'm sure this road goes somewhere
but you're not set on arrival
you're not heading for closure
along this centerline

follow no signs
and forget all advice
just your hand in mine
and fast forward
I'll take your lies
I will take the whole ride
if your hand in mine
we'll last as long

we'll head up to the mountains
got to get to the top
before the fuel runs out

a long winding slope
then turn the engine off
and ride the gravity

you say
you'll steer in between two lanes
you're taking the wrong side
I'm out of harms way

you say
if there's a head to head
you're going to take the hit
I'm going to stay safe

This road is split between us
pulling us back and forth
but there is no destination
for us on either side

follow no signs
and forget all advice
just your hand in mine
and fast forward

I'll take your lies
I will take the whole ride
if your hand in mine
we'll last as long

whatever's in line
and what fits in a lifetime
no different
not unlike
only faster
