We're riding down the boulevard 00:19

We're riding through the dark night, night 00:23

With half a tank and empty heart 00:27

Pretending we're in love, but it's never enough, nah 00:31

As the sirens fill the lonely air 00:35

Oh, how did we get here now, now, now babe 00:40

We see a storm is closing in 00:44

Pretending we ain't scared 00:48

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh) 00:50

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh) 00:55

We're out of time on the highway to never 00:59

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on) 01:02

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh) 01:07

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh) 01:11

We're out of time on the highway to never 01:15

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on) 01:19

We're running all the red lights down 01:25

No way that we can stop, nah, nah 01:30

A quarter tank and almost gone 01:34

Pretending we're in love, but it's never enough, nah 01:38

I wish we could take it back in time 01:42

Before we crossed the line now, now, now, babe 01:46

We see a storm is closing in (oh, oh, oh) 01:51

I reach out for your hand 01:55

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh) 01:57

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh) 02:02

We're out of time on the highway to never 02:06

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

We're riding down the boulevard

We're riding through the dark night, night

With half a tank and empty heart

Pretending we're in love, but it's never enough, nah

As the sirens fill the lonely air

Oh, how did we get here now, now, now babe

We see a storm is closing in

Pretending we ain't scared

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh)

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh)

We're out of time on the highway to never

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh)

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh)

We're out of time on the highway to never

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on)

We're running all the red lights down

No way that we can stop, nah, nah

A quarter tank and almost gone

Pretending we're in love, but it's never enough, nah

I wish we could take it back in time

Before we crossed the line now, now, now, babe

We see a storm is closing in (oh, oh, oh)

I reach out for your hand

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh)

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh)

We're out of time on the highway to never

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on), hold on

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (ooh, yeah)

You brought a fire to a world so cold (ooh, ooh)

We're out of time on the highway to never (ah, yeah)

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on), hold on

Ooh

Hold on, oh yeah, oh Hold on

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh)

You brought a fire to a world so cold (oh, uh)

We're out of time on the highway to never

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on), hold on

Don't say a word while we dance with the devil (uh)

You brought a fire to a world so cold (uh)

We're out of time on the highway to never

Hold on (hold on), hold on (hold on), ooh yeah
