10. Cool Down Lane 2

[Verse 1] Tires still humming in my head Gas receipts crumbled on the dashboard Hands keep shaking on the wheel Heart still flooring it out of habit [Pre-Chorus] Breath tastes like the last red light Road dust clinging to my spine I'm still moving though the world stands still Takes a minute till the engine meets the chill [Chorus] I gotta slow down Pull off this road Let the red fade out of my eyes Kicking up dust Just watching it float Till the rust runs out of my spine Yeah, I've been chasing every green light Now I'll just park and feel the night On this cool down lane Learning how to wait [Guitar Solo] (Instrumental)[Verse] Helmet hair, sunburn neck Your laugh still buzzing under my skin Trophy rattling in the backseat But the rearview's where I'm looking in Windshield going with the last day's heat Heartbeat finally finding a steady beat Feels strange letting the throttle go But maybe slowing down is how we grow [Chorus] I gotta slow down Pull off this road Let the red fade out of my eyes Kicking up dust Just watching it float Till the rush runs out of my spine Yeah, I've been chasing every green light Now I'll just park and feel the night On this cooldown lane Learning how to wait[Bridge] Engine ticking as it cools, My pulse finally keeping time. You lean in, Say “we made it” (we made it), And for once that’s enough Of a finish line. [Instrumental – almost quiet] [Final Chorus] So we slow down, Stay off the road, Let the red fade out of our eyes. Kicking up dust, Just watching it float, Till the rush runs out of our spines. Yeah, we’ve been chasing every green light, Now we just park and feel the night On this cool down lane, Letting go of race days.
