[Intro]
I really need to go
I really need to go

[Verse 1]
Dashboard glow and a blacktop sky
Your hand on my leg and a look in your eye
Windows cracked and the speakers low
Then I said, baby, I really need to go

You turned your head with that dangerous grin
Like you heard a door and were walking in
But my knees were tight and my voice said no
I mean right now, I really need to go

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, can you hold it?
Like it was a game
Like the heat in the car
And the heat in my face
Were maybe the same
Oh no, no no

[Chorus]
Can you hold it?
That depends what you mean
This ain’t flirtation
This is a full-body emergency
Can you hold it?
Baby, don’t be cute
I’m one bad bump from a breakthrough
And now it’s me and the moon and the yellow line
And your bad timing
Can you hold it?
Not for much more time

[Verse 2]
Gas station sign said another ten miles
You reached for me with that slow-boy smile
I smacked your hand like, don’t start that show
I love you, but I really need to go

You said, damn girl, way you bite your lip
Got me thinking things on a road like this
I said, this is not that kind of undertow
If you miss this exit, you’re cleaning the seat, just so you know

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, can you hold it?
Now your voice changed shape
’Cause you finally heard
The edge in my breath
And the fear in the brakes
Too late, too late
