[Verse 1] Steering wheel hot, stomach eating itself Red brake lights stacked past the gas station sign I can smell salt through the paper in my head Shake Shack is three exits, maybe three years away [Pre-Chorus] You said, “We’re moving”—we moved half a car My last fry disappeared in the cup-holder dust [Chorus] I’m stuck in the lane with a hunger like a siren One more red light and I’m gnawing the receipt Shake Shack, hold the door, I’m coming in starving A single cheese fry could bring me back to life [Verse 2] A delivery van blocks the lane like a wall The clock blinks forward, then refuses to change I count every burger on the menu by heart You pass me gum; it tastes like a cruel little joke [Pre-Chorus] The turn signal clicks like a countdown to lunch The car ahead inches, then settles again [Chorus] I’m stuck in the lane with a hunger like a siren One more red light and I’m gnawing the receipt Shake Shack, hold the door, I’m coming in starving A single cheese fry could bring me back to life [Bridge] If we get there, I’ll order for both of us Two burgers, fries, and a shake to split If we don’t, tell the roadside my final words: “Please save me a ShackBurger—extra pickles.” [Final Chorus] We cleared the jam, see the sign up ahead You take the last turn, I’m awake again Shake Shack, hold the door, I’m coming in starving Hot fries in my hands—now I’m back from the brink [Outro] We made it, we made it—pull into the lot I’m already smiling at the first bite
