Mercury Wheels

[Intro]
[Verse]
Kick the stand and take flight
Rooftop ramp in the blue light
Salt air tangles in my hair
I can feel you everywhere
Chain is humming a steady song
Where the city nights belong
Pedal hard against the breeze
Past the sleeping willow trees
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the ferry horn cries
Underneath the velvet skies
Are you just a ghost I chase?
In this neon-painted space
I'm floating on the high
Waiting for a soft reply
[Chorus]
Chasing the flicker of the ruby red
Spinning circles inside my head
Mercury wheels on the coastal line
Will I ever make you mine?
Just a stranger in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
Catch the glow, let it go
More than you will ever know
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round, spinning round
Never touching the ground
Trace the light, hold it tight
In the middle of the night
[Verse]
Third time that I’ve seen your trail
Like a comet, bright and pale
Past the bodega’s humming sign
I’m trying to keep the line
Jangle guitar, muted strings
Wonder what the morning brings
Silver spokes and chrome frames
Playing all these hidden games
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, the ferry horn cries
Underneath the velvet skies
Are you just a ghost I chase?
In this neon-painted space
I'm floating on the high
Waiting for a soft reply
[Chorus]
Chasing the flicker of the ruby red
Spinning circles inside my head
Mercury wheels on the coastal line
Will I ever make you mine?
Just a stranger in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
Catch the glow, let it go
More than you will ever know
[Bridge]
One more turn by the pier
Wish that I could have you near
Soft pads in the midnight haze
Lost inside this electric maze
Don't slow down, don't look back
Following the velvet track
Glockenspiel in the air
Finding magic everywhere
[Chorus]
Chasing the flicker of the ruby red
Spinning circles inside my head
Mercury wheels on the coastal line
Will I ever make you mine?
Just a stranger in the dark
Looking for a tiny spark
Catch the glow, let it go
More than you will ever know
[Post-Chorus]
Spinning round, spinning round
Never touching the ground
Trace the light, hold it tight
In the middle of the night
[Outro]
