ALL NIGHT CRUISE

12:36,

Still too early to call it a night.

Corner-store receipt in the cupholder,

Cold fries, loose change, night getting older.

Missed one exit, took another road,

No one complained, so we let it unfold.

Radio fading between two stations,

Half-heard songs and bad translations.

Every block looking different somehow,

Same four faces, but we wide awake now.

Red light,

Green light,

One more turn.

No need to know

Where the road might curve.

Let tomorrow wait

Till the morning comes.

Right now,

We ain’t done.

We got all night,

So take the long way.

No reason to rush,

Tomorrow can wait.

One more corner,

One more mile.

Let the hours disappear

For a while.

We got all night,

All night,

All night to cruise.

2:14 on the dashboard clock,

Passed the same taco spot down the block.

Old-school track got the whole car locked,

Low conversation while the wheels stay hot.

No big plans,

No reason to leave.

Just another hour

We don’t wanna lose yet.

Take the boulevard,

Let the road stretch wide.

Some nights hit harder

When you don’t decide.

3:08,

Everybody quieter.

Street signs blur,

Whole mood getting lighter.

Head against glass,

Watching names pass by.

Places we don’t know

Under a black-blue sky.

Some nights vanish

Before you know they’re gone.

This one got a feeling

Like it might live on.

Red light,

Green light,

One more turn.

No need to know

Where the road might curve.

Let tomorrow wait

Till the morning comes.

Right now,

We ain’t done.

We got all night,

So take the long way.

No reason to rush,

Tomorrow can wait.

One more corner,

One more mile.

Let the hours disappear

For a while.

We got all night,

All night,

All night to cruise.

4:47,

Sky starting to change.

Night losing color,

But we still feel the same.

One last stretch,

Then maybe we’re through.

One more road—

One more view.

We got all night,

So take the long way.

No reason to rush,

Tomorrow can wait.

One more memory,

One more mile.

Let the morning find us

After a while.

We got all night,

All night,

All night to cruise.
