Midnight Tires

Lyrics

Verse 1
Walk in
Air shifts
You glance
Heart lifts
Leather jacket hanging off one shoulder
Eyes say "stay"
But your voice sounds colder

Chorus
I’m not here to play it nice
I’m the heat under the ice
If you want a fire
Strike the wire
I don’t chase
I choose
I don’t beg
I bruise
Hear me pull away like midnight tires (skrrt)

Verse 2
Slow burn
Straight face
You learn
My pace
Talk big
But you stall on the landing
I’m already gone
While you’re still planning

Chorus
I’m not here to play it nice
I’m the heat under the ice
If you want a fire
Strike the wire
I don’t chase
I choose
I don’t beg
I bruise
Hear me pull away like midnight tires (oh-oh)

Bridge
You say "stay"
With your hands
Not your mouth
I say "maybe"
Then I’m headed south
Got my name
Written on my own sky
If you’re in
Keep up
If you’re not
Bye

Chorus
I’m not here to play it nice
I’m the heat under the ice
If you want a fire
Strike the wire
I don’t chase
I choose
I don’t beg
I bruise
Hear me pull away like midnight tires
Midnight tires
Midnight tires (yeah)
