Red Corvette, 1999

Crimson curves in the parking lot haze Cigarette moon and a purple rain phase I turned the key and bent the year Heard your name in the static, crystal clear Leather seats, cassette on rewind I left the future just to find your sign Gasoline ghosts in my rearview night Baby, I saw you… In the Y2K light Red Corvette, 1999 Racing fate just to make you mine Ashes on vinyl, we burn through the hours Shifting gears in electric flowers If time’s a spiral, let it unwind Back to you, babe In ‘99 Backseat riddled with deja vu You lit a match in a year I flew through Tangled time in your lipstick kiss The clock cracked open on nights like this Streetlights flicker in VHS gold You were young, and I was old Not in age, but in the miles Of chasing shadows down your smile We had one night before the world rebooted Every second a spark, every silence polluted By the fear that love can’t last in flame But baby, I never left the game I hit the breaks at 11:59 Just to crash into your lifeline No gravity, just you and me Lost in chrome and prophecy Red Corvette, 1999 Racing fate just to make you mine Ashes on vinyl, we burn through the hours Shifting gears in electric flowers If time’s a spiral, let it unwind Back to you, babe In ‘99
