My Hit and Run

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Stephan Jenkins] Feel the speed through the intersection In sheets of rain, I seek out cars Hands in gloves on handlebars Ride alone to the pub in the dark I get a little wet but I don't have to park And the lights they 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 [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] Always think we'll 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? [Verse 2: Stephan Jenkins] I'm thrust slow-mo through time and space Details smash, protect my face And then I see yours And go to a time when we just knew Mr. 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 [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] Always think we'll 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? [Bridge: Stephan Jenkins] Here it comes, my hit-and-run [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] 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 [Verse 3: Stephan Jenkins] 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 and dying [Chorus: Stephan Jenkins] 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 [Outro: Stephan Jenkins] (You were there) Mr. Death for what he's done 'Cause I got to walk away from my hit-and-run Mysteries are not so empty now as they seemed 'Cause I saw you At my hit-and-run At my hit-and-run At my hit-and-run
