Lyrics: Eline Moen
Music: Eline Moen
Redline breath
On a Tuesday night
Coffee stains
On a dashboard light
Maps torn up
But it feels alright
I hit the gas
Till the doubts fall quiet
Every “you can’t” in the rearview shaking
Every old fear in the backseat fading
If this road breaks me
At least I tried
Hand on the shifter
Eyes open wide
Ignition overdrive
Heart beat in double time
Burning through the stop signs in my mind (yeah)
If I crash
I’m still alive
At least I dared to fly
Foot down on every second passing by
Ignition overdrive
I’m done just getting by
Old voice calls
From a cracked phone screen
“Play it safe
Stick to what’s been seen”
But I’m sick
Of the in-between
I want the smoke
I want the gasoline
Every “slow down” on the radio fading
Every closed door in my memory shaking
If this road bends
Then I’ll bend too
Knuckles white
But I’m driving through
Ignition overdrive
Heart beat in double time
Burning through the stop signs in my mind (hey)
If I crash
I’m still alive
At least I dared to fly
Foot down on every second passing by
Ignition overdrive
I’m done just getting by
Headlights blur
Into one long line
I’m scared as hell
But I won’t rewind
If this is it
Then let it ignite
I came to live
Not just survive
Ignition overdrive
Heart beat in double time
Burning through the stop signs in my mind (oh)
If I crash
I’m still alive
At least I dared to fly
Foot down on every second passing by
Ignition overdrive
Tonight I come alive
