Ben Loader on His Electric Bike

Intro

Oh-oh, yeah, hey

(whoosh) (go)

Verse

Ben Loader rounds the corner where the promenade meets the sea

Leather jacket, salt on the collar, leaning into the breeze

Headlight catches gulls that scatter like a scattered beat

Pedal hums a secret song, the town moves underneath

He knows every crumbling step, every cafe, every bench

From the old pier lamp to the corner where the kids play fetch

Morning paper in his basket, yesterday's radio hum

He rides through the smallness, like the whole world follows him

Pre-chorus

And the road opens up, wide as the sky (wide, wide)

All the small talk fades, just the tire and tide (tide, tide)

He breathes out slow, lets the salt come in (ah)

Smiles like he’s running from nothing and everything

Chorus

Ben Loader on his electric bike, oh-oh, yeah (Ben Loader)

Ben Loader on his electric bike, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Seaford wakes as he rolls by, bells in the morning light

Ben Loader on his electric bike, yeah, yeah

Ben Loader on his electric bike, Ben Loader (go, go)

Verse

Afternoon sun slides down the chalk, a postcard on a wire

He takes the cliff path slow, counts the surfers and the fire

Kids chasing driftwood, a dog thinks it’s a race

Ben tips his hat and the town answers back with a warm face

There's a bakery that knows his name, gives him a wink for free

Old men on the bench swear he still rides like he's twenty-three

He keeps a map of small hours where the lamplight spills like gold

Races the tide home, pockets full of stories untold

Bridge

Oh-oh, spin the wheel, let the morning stay (stay, stay)

Skate the edge of the map, let the little things play (play, play)

He hums a line that no one taught him, just a rhythm in his chest

Wheels whisper secrets of the places he won't rest

Na-na, na-na, hey-ya (na-na)

Chorus

Ben Loader on his electric bike, oh-oh, yeah (Ben Loader)

Ben Loader on his electric bike, whoa-oh, whoa-oh

Seaford wakes as he rolls by, bells in the morning light

Ben Loader on his electric bike, yeah, yeah

Ben Loader on his electric bike, Ben Loader (ride, ride)
