9 ALIVE

Lyrics - JimmyCheng

[Intro]
Dash glow
Eyes low
Lane lines
In a row

[Verse 1]
Pull out of the cul-de-sac, midnight on my tongue
One hand on the wheel, other scrolling through the crumbs
Gas light flirting but I push it just the same
Whole town sleeping, I’m alone with all my blame

Exit signs flick past like unread texts
Speed up when I should slow, I’m a rolling mess
Voicemail playing on the cracked screen blue
Your laugh in the speakers, cutting straight through

[Pre Chorus]
I’ve been night driving, tryna out-run my mind
Motor humming like it’s singing my lies
Empty backseat, but I swear you’re inside
Every turn, every curve, you arrive

Yeah I keep sliding on this long black road
Every mile feels like letting you go
But I keep riding, can’t rewind that time
So I’m night driving, just to feel alive

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
High beams hit a sign, bugs dance in the glare
Fast food wrappers in the passenger chair
Gas station coffee, bad taste on my breath
Playlist on repeat, scared of what is left

Cruise set higher than my better sense
Talking to mirror, now I feeling so tense
Heartbeat like a clock, ticking too fast
All of these tomorrows stuck inside our past

[Pre Chorus]
I’ve been night driving, tryna out-run my mind
Motor humming like it’s singing my lies
Empty backseat, but I swear you’re inside
Every turn, every curve, you arrive

Yeah I keep sliding on this long black road
Every mile feels like letting you go
But I keep riding, can’t rewind that time
So I’m night driving, just to feel alive

[Chorus]
