(Verse 1) Midnight road and a pale white moon Engine breathing out a lonely tune City lights fading in the mirrors behind Just me and the ghosts in the back of my mind I feel the pavement talking through the frame Whispering low like it knows my name One wrong move and the whole thing bends Funny how fast forever can end (Pre-Chorus) Hands on the bars, eyes on the line Trying to borrow a little more time (Chorus) Oh, this is a wicked game I play Riding that edge where the shadows stay One hand on freedom, one hand on fate Too fast to stop, too late to wait And I know, I know I’m dancing with flames Still I come back and play this wicked game (Verse 2) There’s a moment hanging right before a turn Where fear and fire both begin to burn Part of me says slow down, be wise Part of me smiles and twists the right side You think you’re in control until you see How small you are at a hundred and three The road don’t care if you win or lose It just waits there for the ones who choose (Bridge) Life’s got a thin white line painted down the middle One side reason, one side riddles Maybe we’re all just trying to find How far we can lean before leaving our minds (Final Chorus) Oh, this is a wicked game I play Living between the black and gray One hand on freedom, one hand on fate Trying to balance before it breaks And I know, I know one day it ends Still tomorrow I’ll ride again
