[Verse 1] Two in the mornin' on the Gardiner, no company Skyline in the windshield lookin' back at me hungrily Twenty years of winters made a man out the humility Every exit is a memory, every lane a liability I don't drive to get nowhere, I drive for the clarity Empty city, heavy thoughts, that's the whole itinerary Built it out of nothin' and they still don't take it seriously Good, stay sleep, that's the edge, that's the currency [Hook, low filtered vocal] Night drive, night drive, nobody call me City lights blurry but the vision all clarity Night drive, night drive, sub in the chassis 808 heartbeat, that's the only one askin' me [Verse 2] Lake on my left like a mirror for the guilt to swim Every deal I ever walked away from wilted him The old me, I mean, I keep him in the rearview Close enough to humble me, too far to interview Wrote the chief aim down in ink, that's the ritual Read it at the red light, whisper it, spiritual When the towers hit the water and reflect it all identical That's the 6 tellin' me the ceiling is invisible
