[Intro - very low, close, lazy] Race day Slow breath in Mm Race at my pace [Verse 1 - low, loose, sensual pocket] Cold air moving through the start-line trees Number plate bright, timing chip underneath Sweat in the glove and the grip turning warm in my hand One long breath while the forest goes still Chain pulls tight when I roll on the drive Tyres find dirt and the whole thing comes alive Low through the turn, let the front wheel write its line Easy now I’ve got time [Pre-Chorus - groove tightens, words begin to move faster] Root into loam into berm into light Brake release and the exit goes wide Hold that line a little longer Now ride [Chorus - wide, lazy, huge vowel stretch] I will raaaaace at my paaaaace Race at my pace Let it roll low let it run let it breathe through the break I will raaaaace at my paaaaace Mm Race at my pace [Verse 2 - darker bass, more attitude] Grip bites back when the ground turns loose Heat in my hands and the fork pushing through Compression comes hard and the tyres stay down in the dirt That one felt good Again Breath running hot but I’m keeping it low Eyes through the green where the next line goes Chain on the pull and the back wheel light for a beat Right there That’s sweet [Pre-Chorus - quicker, almost spilling over the groove] Fast into dark into root into rise Dirt off the tyre and the trail running wild One more corner coming straight through the trees Come on Give it to me [Chorus - higher register on first line, then drop low] I will raaaaace at my paaaaace Race at my pace All of that heat all of that grip all of that beautiful shake I will raaaaace at my paaaaace Mm Race at my pace [Bridge - strip almost everything away, low cracked vocal] Heart going hard Breath going slow Rubber dirt hands on the bars I know this feeling Mm I love this part [Groove Break - bass and drums only, vocal becomes playful] Grip Release Lean in Breathe Again Again A little more Mm That’ll do [Final Build - long line first, then accelerating] There’s a moment when the bike and the dirt and the body all move as one and the line opens up and the brakes come off and everything runs Now [Final Chorus - biggest range, low to soaring] I will raaaaace at my paaaaace I will raaaaace at my paaaaace Race at my pace Race at my pace All this speed all this dirt all this glorious noise in my wake And I will raaaaace at my paaaaace [Outro - bass groove still moving, voice almost smiling] Race at my pace Mm Of course I will Race at my pace
