Lyrics
Hands on the gear shift
Engaging with the car's gear shift
Breath held, anticipating
Eagerly anticipating, holding one's breath
The car ride home
Reflecting on the car ride home
A room alone, with you
Being in a private space with a significant other
Hands shaking
Experiencing nervousness or excitement
Breathing heavily between
Intense breathing in the space between
The beat of the stereo
Noticing the beat of the stereo
The rhythm of the drum
Acknowledging the rhythm of the drum
Alone in the car with you
Being alone in the car with a significant other
See the lights inside your eyes
Observing lights in the partner's eyes
Chasing us through the night
Being pursued by lights through the night
Illuminated, illuminated
Feeling illuminated and alive
City lights inside your hands
City lights within the partner's hands
Arms outstretched in the moment
Arms outstretched in a significant moment
Illuminated, illuminated
Experiencing a sense of being illuminated
Illuminated
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being illuminated
Illuminated
-Illuminated
-Illuminated
-Make my way to your waist
Moving towards the partner's waist
Every breath you take
Acknowledging each breath the partner takes
Brings me closer
Feeling a sense of proximity and closeness
It feels like home
Feeling at home with the partner
There's no turning back now
Emphasizing an irreversible commitment
There's no turning back now
-There's no turning back now
-There's no turning back now
-See the lights inside your eyes
Seeing lights in the partner's eyes
Chasing us through the night
Being pursued by lights through the night (repeated)
Illuminated, illuminated
Feeling illuminated and alive (repeated)
City lights inside your hands
City lights within the partner's hands (repeated)
Arms outstretched in the moment
Arms outstretched in a significant moment (repeated)
Illuminated, illuminated
Experiencing a sense of being illuminated (repeated)
Illuminated
Repetition emphasizing the feeling of being illuminated
Illuminated
-Illuminated
-Illuminated
-Illuminated
Continued emphasis on the irreversible nature of the situation
There's no turning back now
-Illuminated
-There's no turning back now
-Illuminated
-There's no turning back now
-Illuminated
-There's no turning back now
Highlighting the point of no return
