Matter of a Mile
by Geoy Garam
Lyrics
Verse 1
Black asphalt, white knuckles on the wheel
Red line blurring out the way I feel
Headlights cutting through the heavy sheet
One wrong turn and the metal meets the street
Pre-Chorus
Rain on the windshield, sparks in the dark
Racing the shadow that's chasing my heart
Tachometer screaming, the engine is wild
I'm holding the edge with a shaking smile
Chorus
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
Living or dying, I burn for a while
One wrong turn and I'm gone from your sight
One wrong turn and I won't make it right
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
(Living or dying) a matter of a mile
Verse 2
Guardrail flashes like a warning sign
Your name keeps pounding in the back of my mind
Rearview mirror filled with a ghostly glow
I keep on running where the cold winds blow
Pre-Chorus
Rain on the windshield, sparks in the dark
Racing the shadow that's chasing my heart
Tachometer screaming, the engine is wild
I'm holding the edge with a shaking smile
Chorus
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
Living or dying, I burn for a while
One wrong turn and I'm gone from your sight
One wrong turn and I won't make it right
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
(Living or dying) a matter of a mile
Bridge
Half-turn wheel, hands gone numb
Hear the night like a loaded drum
If I slide, let the truth collide
If I make it, I'll make it alive
Final Chorus
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
Living or dying, I burn for a while
One wrong turn and I'm gone from your sight
One wrong turn and I won't make it right
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
Living or dying, a matter of a mile
