Sonata Arctica
Running Lights
[Verse 1]
The sunset will make the night
He feels the road with his headlights
He's one of the wilder kind
In his yellow and red Skyline
Young man and his fast car
Squeezing the wheel
Knuckles white
Speeding, turning, sliding, drifting
Deeper in his bucket seat
Running all the lights with the girl of his dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
And they enter the night when
The young ones need no sleep
Laughing at the lights they keep running
Becoming color of the night
When the song on the
Radio sings, "Such a perfect day"
Tomorrow slowly fades away
[Chorus]
The world only ends once in one lifetime
These nights of the young last forever
Around and around, with the clearing smoke
These days drift away altogether
[Verse 2]
The peak of the perfect times
The sunrise always ruins the night
Racing for one final kiss
Drifting away don't touch the wheel!
Turn left, slide right, initial G-feel
Deeper in the redline
Screaming louder underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
And they enter the night when
The young ones need no sleep
Laughing at the lights they keep running
Becoming color of the night
When the song on the
Radio sings, "Such a perfect day"
Tomorrow slowly fades away
[Chorus]
The world only ends once in one lifetime
These nights of the young last forever
Around and around, with the clearing smoke
These days drift away altogether
[Outro]
Once in a while, night's a full lifetime
These nights of the young last forever
Around and around, with the clearing smoke
These days drift away in the shades of time
