That Need for Speed

[singer A] City lights blur, I’m locked in the lane Engine cold but I’m feeling that flame Foot on the clutch, heartbeat syncs with steel Turn the key—yeah you know it’s real Slow crawl traffic, man I hate this game Stop and go, yeah it’s driving me insane But deep inside I feel it rise again That need for speed running through my veins [transition] [singer B] Waking up at twelve in my clothes again Feel my head explode from a night of sin Another night out I don't want to think, don't want to be a part Gotta keep my feet back on the ground Before it pulls me in [singer A] Let me out, let me breathe, let me break from the line I was not built to move one meter at a time I need space, I need air, I need open road Need that diesel thunder when the pressure explodes [melodic interlude] [singer B] All by myself 'Cause I don't want to drag you down, drag you down 'Cause you're a friend, I blame myself I guess you think it's funny now, funny now [singer A] No more brakes, no more chains on me Just asphalt dreams and velocity Wind cuts sharp like a blade so clean Every shift like a shot of caffeine [instrumental] [singer B] How did it end up like this? And who's gonna catch me when I'm coming down to hit the ground again? All by myself 'Cause I don't want to drag you down, drag you down [singer A] No more traffic, no more chains Just open roads and burning lanes Sixth gear calling—I answer loud Leave the slow world in the crowd I don’t stop, I don’t slow I was born for this flow From the city grind to the endless night I ride my fire, I ride my fight
