Lyrics
You ride the left lane, I ride the right Our wheels keep humming the same bright tune You ring your bell as you pass me by Two silver notes in the heat of noon I wasn't looking, I wasn't free But the pavement tilted toward you, toward me A bell that rings twice, hello, hello Handlebars leaning the same way home Sunlight rolling on the spokes We're swinging down the road, we go A bell that rings twice, don't slow down Catch me at the lights, I'll catch the town Every turn is turning toward you A bell that rings twice, and I'm yours now We trade the shortcuts, trade the hills Your scarf is flying like a flag I know the shape of your laugh by now Before the corner, before the drag I wasn't looking, I wasn't free But the pavement tilted toward you, toward me A bell that rings twice, hello, hello Handlebars leaning the same way home Sunlight rolling on the spokes We're swinging down the road, we go A bell that rings twice, don't slow down Catch me at the lights, I'll catch the town Every turn is turning toward you A bell that rings twice, and I'm yours now Freewheel, freewheel, hands in the air Nothing to hold but the evening air If I fall, I fall toward you And that's a kind of landing too A bell that rings twice, hello, hello Handlebars leaning the same way home Sunlight rolling on the spokes We're swinging down the road, we go A bell that rings twice, don't slow down Catch me at the lights, I'll catch the town Every turn is turning toward you A bell that rings twice, and I'm yours now Ring it twice Ring it twice for me
