Lyric

The last bell cuts across the street

I throw my jacket on the seat

The train doors close, but we step out

Somewhere nobody talks about

White arrows painted on the road

Point to places we don’t know

The buildings lean across the lane

And every window looks the same

Take the stairs

Skip the floor

There’s another hidden door

Turn around

Change the route

Let the ordinary fall out

We don’t need the way they gave us

We don’t need another sign

If the street begins to twist

Then we twist it one more time

Run until the rails divide

Run until the clocks collide

Tonight the city changes shape

And we decide which road to take

Traffic stops without a warning

Midnight feels like early morning

Numbers vanish from the station

Every step changes direction

Your shoes hit concrete next to mine

Two shadows cross the yellow line

Someone says we’ve gone too far

We keep moving where we are

Take the stairs

Skip the floor

There’s another hidden door

Turn around

Change the route

Let the ordinary fall out

We don’t need the way they gave us

We don’t need another sign

If the street begins to twist

Then we twist it one more time

Run until the rails divide

Run until the clocks collide

Tonight the city changes shape

And we decide which road to take

Cut the drums

Leave the bass

Footsteps moving through the space

One by one

Voices trade

Nothing here has to stay the same

Then the beat returns

Faster than before

Every crossing rearranges

Every corner gives us choices

No permission

No prediction

Only movement

Only voices

We don’t need the way they gave us

We don’t need another sign

Let the avenue keep turning

We will never walk one line

Run until the rails divide

Run beyond the morning tide

No one chooses where we go

We make the road beneath our soles
