[Intro — sparse electronic pulse, distant engine rev]

[whispered]:

Windows down. Just drive.

[Verse 1 — driving punk beat, spoken/rap cadence, energetic]

Something in the air tonight
We don't need a reason why
Cut the lights and hit the road
Leave the whole world far behind

Roll down the windows, we
Got nowhere we need to be
Laughing from the passenger seat
Are you still here with me?

[ad-libs]: "Yeah"

[Pre-Chorus 1 — building, melodic lift, layered vocals]

Lights flickering as we sing right now
No city I'd rather burn through, racing past this town

Here comes the tunnel, we hold our breath somehow
Something about tonight feels like it's meant to be

[Chorus 1 — explosive, earworm hook, full band]

'Cause it's you
That said our stars are burning
So just keep driving through the night

Darling, you
Can hold back every morning
So just keep driving through the night

Let's get away

[Drop — hyper-pop break, glitchy electronic stutter, drums cut in hard]

[breathless]:

Just go. Don't stop. Don't stop.

[Verse 2 — faster cadence, more chaotic energy, spoken/sung mix]

Rush through everything
Faster than you've ever been
Haze spilling over the road
Running from what's in between

Drift through the city, we
Got nowhere we need to be
Screaming from the passenger seat

[ad-libs]: "Can't you keep up with me?"

[Pre-Chorus 2 — tighter, more urgent than the first]

Stars glistening, all aligned right now
Breaking every limit as the road blacks out

The engine screaming, we swear we won't slow down
I've been here before but not like this, not now

[Chorus 2 — same hook, bigger mix, crowd-ready]

'Cause it's you
That said our stars are burning
So just keep driving through the night

Darling, you
Can hold back every morning
So just keep driving through the night

Let's get away

[Bridge/Breakdown — stripped back, hypnotic, vocals over minimal beat]

And the headlights gleam as we ride away
And the world is ours tonight

Nightrun
Ready or not
Nightrun
Ready or not

[Final Chorus — full wall of sound, euphoric, layered harmonies]

'Cause it's you

[ad-libs]: yeah

That said our stars are burning
So just keep driving through the night

Darling, you

[ad-libs]: yeah

Can hold back every morning
So just keep driving through the night
And the headlights gleam as we ride away
And the world is ours tonight

[Outro — engine fading, electronic pulse dissolving]

Nightrun

[whispered]:

Keep driving.
