Intro bloom (feedback rising; heartbeat kick; shimmer opens) Verse 1 Neon on wet stone, I breathe in time Straight-eighth engine keeps the line Empty maps folding in my hands City says go, so I let it stand Chorus Headlights up, we start again [ALL] Push the dawn, count to ten Headlights up, we break the skin [ALL] Start again, start again Hold the pulse, let the bright flood in Headlights up, we start again Verse 2 Quiet voice steady, pavement hums Hope in the pocket where the bass drum thumps Fear takes the exit at the turn Warm air rises, streetlights burn Chorus Headlights up, we start again [ALL] Push the dawn, count to ten Headlights up, we break the skin [ALL] Start again, start again Keep the spark, let the wide day spin Headlights up, we start again Bridge (collapse) (cut to silence) one—two—three—four Tom rolls build, the voices roar [ALL] We’re alive, we’re alive, lean in Chorus (final, harder) Headlights up, we start again [ALL] Push the dawn, count to ten No turning down, no sinking in [ALL] Start again, start again Guitars bloom, let the daylight win Headlights up, we start again Outro noise fade (feedback swells, radio chatter, tape hiss drifting out)
