[Intro | solo drums | intricate hi-hat and kick pattern | dry and precise | 4 bars] [Verse 1 | vocal: intimate | slightly hoarse] I sit behind the wheel The traffic locks in place I blink and they're not real I shift to empty space This world has a back room A parallel design I step in when I need to And leave the rules behind [Pre-Chorus | building | Rhodes enters | snare ghost notes] I can pick my dimension I can choose my own scene [Chorus | explosive | full band | anthemic] I shift dimensions when I drive The empty highway is mine I shift dimensions to get inside No velvet rope, no waiting line [adlib SHIFT] (I'm already there) [Verse 2 | vocal: confident | playful edge] The bouncer checks his phone His pen is in the air I walk past him alone He doesn't know I'm there I don't break any locks I don't push any doors I just rotate the box And walk across new floors [Pre-Chorus | half-time | Rhodes sustains] I can pick my dimension I can slip through the seam [Chorus | full band | double-kick drives] I shift dimensions when I drive The empty highway is mine I shift dimensions to get inside No velvet rope, no waiting line [adlib YEAH] (I'm already there) [Bridge | drums drop to hi-hats and kick | vocal: spoken word, vulnerable then rising] Let me be clear I'm not a ghost I'm not a prayer I just learned the trick The world's a deck of cards And I can pick Which one I'm standing on (I pick the one where I've already won) [Guitar Solo: clean Telecaster bridge pickup | sparse single jazz notes | soft dynamic | 4 bars] [Guitar Solo continues: overdriven | fast repetitive alternate picking | aggressive] [Final Chorus | Energy: High | full power | harmonies on last two lines] I shift dimensions when I drive The empty highway is mine I shift dimensions to get inside No velvet rope, no waiting line I shift dimensions I shift dimensions The locked gate opens every time [Outro | drums reduce to hi-hats | clean Rhodes stab | fade]
