Don't Hit the Brakes

V6

[Intro] (Car door shuts, ignition turns over, a turn signal ticks in tempo, muted staccato guitar chops lock onto the ticking, melodic bass slides in) [Verse 1] Two weeks in, you got the aux cord Two weeks in, you know my order Left your hoodie on my front seat Now it smells like you all week Everybody says slow down Says we're moving way too fast But I've never seen a green light That I wanted to let pass [Pre-Chorus] I know you're scared (I know) 'Cause I'm scared too (me too) But look how good this feels [Chorus] Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) (Full stop, one beat of silence) Baby, we just found the road Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) (Falsetto) Ooh, let it go Hold on tight, we're rolling Don't hit the brakes [Verse 2] Your mama asked me what I'm doing Told her, doing what feels right Got your toothbrush next to my one Got you smiling every night Every red light is a reason Just to turn and look at you If the road's about to fork I'm taking every turn with you [Pre-Chorus] I know you're scared (I know) 'Cause I'm scared too (me too) But look how good this feels [Chorus] Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) (Full stop, one beat of silence) Baby, we just found the road Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) (Falsetto) Ooh, let it go Hold on tight, we're rolling Don't hit the brakes [Bridge] (Drops to muted guitar chops, handclaps and the ticking signal) Foot off the brake (foot off the brake) Hands on the wheel (hands on the wheel) Windows down (windows down) Tell me how that feels (Falsetto) Ooh, how that feels (Full band slams back in) [Final Chorus] (Fullest, stacked falsetto harmonies) Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) (Full stop, one beat of silence) Baby, we just found the road Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) (Falsetto) Ooh, let it go Hold on tight, we're rolling Don't hit the brakes (don't hit the brakes) [Outro] (Guitar chops thin out, the engine hums away down the road, the turn signal clicks off) (Spoken) Keep driving.
