Lyric

Two a.m., the city will not close its eyes

Neon haze cuts silver through the rain

Shadows freeze at every crossing line

Still not knowing where they have to go

Screeching brakes collide with my heartbeat

Tomorrow's map is still a page of white

But I cannot afford to lose my breath

Racing past the dawn, I'm chasing after you

Faster than the light, my feelings break on through

No, I don't need an answer, I just need to move

Every step I make is striking at the future

Underneath the glow of the vending light

Lonely shadows softly wear a smile

Dry air carries every fragile sigh

No promises to tie our hands tonight

Signals shift from red into sudden blue

In that fleeting beat I throw it all away

Even with the doubt and pain I hold

There is no direction left but forward

Racing past the dawn, I'm chasing after you

Faster than the light, my feelings break on through

No, I don't need an answer, I just need to move

Every step I make is striking at the future

Fading steps pull farther away from me

Even if I reach, my hands will never find them

Still I will not turn, the compass in my chest

Is cracked but points me forward still

Racing past the dawn, I'm chasing after you

Faster than the light, my feelings break on through

For this single moment, I will stake it all

Every step I make is striking at the future

Nothing has yet begun, yet the clock keeps running fast

And still I'm running—still I'm running
