Ring Road at 2AM

[Verse 1] Rain still on the road Black shine under me Closed kiosks sleeping Steel shutters, rusted keys Streetlights on repeat Slide across my glass I keep my hands steady Try not to drive too fast My phone face down Like it knows my shame I rehearse the line But it never lands the same At the junction, two men talk By a kiosk with one bulb One leans on a motorbike One laughs, then goes quiet and shrugs [Pre-Chorus] I pass them slow Like I might confess Tongue tied up tight In my own chest If I call now Will you let me speak? If I turn back Will I lose the week? [Chorus] Ring Road at 2AM I’m still circling in my head Ring Road at 2AM Trying to say what I left unsaid Ring Road at 2AM The city hums, but I’m the thread Ring Road at 2AM If I reach you, maybe we’re not dead (Ring Road at 2AM) [Verse 2] Dashboard glow on my hands Makes my knuckles look old Wipers cut the water In a tired, careful hold A puddle catches red From a brake light far ahead Then it breaks apart Like the words I never said I think of your face When I chose the easy lane How I turned the truth Into weather and delay Now every block I cross Feels like a second chance And every road sign Feels like a question I can answer [Pre-Chorus] I pass them slow Like I might confess Tongue tied up tight In my own chest If I call now Will you let me speak? If I turn back Will I lose the week? [Chorus] Ring Road at 2AM I’m still circling in my head Ring Road at 2AM Trying to say what I left unsaid Ring Road at 2AM The city hums, but I’m the thread Ring Road at 2AM If I reach you, maybe we’re not dead (Ring Road at 2AM) [Bridge] I pull to the curb Engine ticking slow Rain on the roof And nobody to know I say your name To the empty seat Silence answers back Then it sits with me [Chorus] Ring Road at 2AM I’m still circling in my head Ring Road at 2AM Trying to say what I left unsaid Ring Road at 2AM The city hums, but I’m the thread Ring Road at 2AM If I reach you, maybe we’re not dead (Ring Road at 2AM)
