Gap The Cat

[Intro] Static in my head Redline in my chest Night painted in rubber And white dashed breath [Verse 1] Bumper to bumper We creep Then we snap Tail lights flicker I’m looking for a gap You’re in my mirrors Grin in your eyes I feather the throttle You’re cutting it fine [Pre-Chorus] Scanning stations Voices fade Then clear “Nothing on the band yet” Whispers in my ear Every curve Every cambered turn I feel the road You feel the burn [Chorus] It’s a cat and mouse game I gotta gap the cat You’re crawling up my lane I’m pulling off Pulling back False stop Let the needle drop You think I’m done (I’m gone) Then I go Then I go Gap the cat On the long straight Wide You claw I glide Gap the cat You chase that line I redraw mine [Verse 2] Female: You dive on my bumper I ghost on the brake You flinch for a heartbeat I steal you a length Male: You swing to the inside I slide to the side Both: Two hands One wheel Eyes wide Tied to the white lines [Pre-Chorus] Dial spins Little hiss Then a click “Units on the overpass” Cut it quick We’re threading through the shadows Windows down Every apex Every exit We’re blackout-bound [Chorus] It’s a cat and mouse game I gotta gap the cat You’re crawling up my lane I’m pulling off Pulling back False stop Let the needle drop You think I’m done (so done) Then I go Then I go Gap the cat On the long straight Wide You claw I glide Gap the cat You chase that line I redraw mine [Bridge] [Beat cuts / filtered pad] Hold breath Speed deaf Just the hum Just the hum in the dash One blip One slip You’re gone in the glare Just trash [Beat slam back in] I fade the world to a single bend You fade to noise on the low-end [Chorus] It’s a cat and mouse game I gotta gap the cat You’re crawling up my lane I’m pulling off Pulling back False stop Let the needle drop You think I’m done (oh yeah) Then I go Then I go Gap the cat On the long straight Wide You claw I glide Gap the cat You chase that line I redraw mine
