Lyrics
Intro
engine rev loop
live crowd swell
male voice
No countdown
no mercy
night is open
Verse One
male voice fast flow
Headlights bite the blacktop hard
Illegal hearts at starting lines
Cash on steel, eyes on speed
No heroes here, just consequence
Rome in my blood, States in my hands
This road was built to break me
I don’t drive to win
I drive to feel her closer
Pre Chorus
(uh) engine breathing
(ah) ground falls back
When the speed locks in
I start to float
Chorus
Turbo clears the highway
full force, no shame
Turbo clears the highway
say my name
female voice soft overlay
(ah) stay
(oh) don’t slow
Verse Two
male voice harder
Crowds want sparks, they want wrecks
I want one clean second
Sirens lie, the night listens
Every curve is personal
Italian heart, wide and raw
American hunger, no patience
If I lift, I lose the moment
If I push, I touch forever
Chorus
Turbo clears the highway
full force, no shame
female voice harmony
(ahhh)
Break One
live drum break
guitar lead solo fast
female voice whisper loop
(go faster)
Bridge
melodic guitar lift
female voice lead romantic
I feel you before the crash
I feel you in the speed
Don’t look back at the damage
Stay with me
male voice answer
Lonely notes in open air
Morone ghosts inside the noise
Speed turns gentle
when you call my name
Break Two
freak live cut
bass and drums only
crowd chant filtered
male spoken
No rules
No brakes
No return
Final Chorus
dual voices full power
Turbo clears the highway
full force, no shame
Turbo clears the highway
we don’t slow
Outro
engine fades, guitar feedback
male voice low
If the crash comes
it comes flying
I was free
before impact
