Guitar flicker, a narrow drum road, and that string-like upper lift already making the air feel bigger than the beat.

Voice steps in close—almost conversational—asking to be taken out tonight.

There it is, plain: because I haven't got one—and the pulse just keeps moving underneath.

Now it's the car, and the guitar and upper line stay bright while home has nowhere still to land.

Please don't drop me home, because it's not mine—still sung inside that composed step.

The fantasy turns toward a crash, but the band doesn't darken—it keeps that same shining regularity.

The next crash image makes it heavier: drums fixed, bass holding the floor, guitar still ringing.

Take me anywhere—I don't care—direction gives way to leaving while the beat still sounds sure of where it's going.

And in the dark—the underpass narrows the scene without breaking the road.

Oh God, my chance has come at last—hope flares right on the moving grid.

Then fear shuts it: he just couldn't—and the band doesn't pause or confess with him; it simply continues.

The car comes back less as surprise than as fact—motion still the only shelter on offer.

Final refrain gathers and finally names it: there is a light, and it never goes out—pulse, shimmer, and voice holding the glow.

Feel the grip loosen—the pocket starting to let go after holding so steady for so long.

And then the pulse is gone. Abrupt, because the song taught us to trust the motion, then took the motion away.
