My Hit and Run

Feel the speed through the intersection

Sheets of rain, I seek out cars

Hands in love with handlebars

Ride alone to the pub in the dark

I get a little wet, but I don't have to park

And the lights start flashing green and red

As I ride, a car turns left and I slide

I can't turn back, I make contact

Blinkers smash into a mosaic

And I start flying

Always think we get more time

Now flying through the air

Maybe living, maybe dying

In this motor crash, it's you who comes to mind

Don't we always wish we had more time?

Thrust slo-mo through time and space

Details smash, protect my face

And then I see yours

And go to a time when we just knew

Mister death in the car below

Doesn't even slow and away he goes

In the majesty of a motor crash

You skid into my darkness forming

Sex and death, heartbreak and strife

Well, they give no warning

Always think we get more time

Now I'm flying through the air

And it's you who comes to mind

In the red lights and cathedrals, there's a sign

Don't we always wish we had more time

Here it comes

My hit-and-run

Always think we'll get more time

Then you're flying through the air

With someone on your mind

In the shattered glass refractions, there's a sign

'Cause you were there

And I wish we had more time

I come down hard and roll to my feet

And rain washes blood now off concrete

People turn away and I just had to laugh

'Cause I'm still flying

Living, dying

Always think we'll get more time

You're flying through the air

With someone on your mind

And this motorcycle crash, it is a sign

'Cause you were there

And I wish we had more time

(You were there) thank Mister death, now, for what he's done

'Cause I got to walk away from my hit-and-run

(You were there) mysteries are not so empty now as they seemed

(You were there) 'cause I saw you

At my hit-and-run

At my hit-and-run
