Hunger Like a Siren

[Verse 1]
Steering wheel hot, stomach eating itself
Red brake lights stacked past the gas station sign
I can smell salt through the paper in my head
Shake Shack is three exits, maybe three years away

[Pre-Chorus]
You said, “We’re moving”—we moved half a car
My last fry disappeared in the cup-holder dust

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the lane with a hunger like a siren
One more red light and I’m gnawing the receipt
Shake Shack, hold the door, I’m coming in starving
A single cheese fry could bring me back to life

[Verse 2]
A delivery van blocks the lane like a wall
The clock blinks forward, then refuses to change
I count every burger on the menu by heart
You pass me gum; it tastes like a cruel little joke

[Pre-Chorus]
The turn signal clicks like a countdown to lunch
The car ahead inches, then settles again

[Chorus]
I’m stuck in the lane with a hunger like a siren
One more red light and I’m gnawing the receipt
Shake Shack, hold the door, I’m coming in starving
A single cheese fry could bring me back to life

[Bridge]
If we get there, I’ll order for both of us
Two burgers, fries, and a shake to split
If we don’t, tell the roadside my final words:
“Please save me a ShackBurger—extra pickles.”

[Final Chorus]
We cleared the jam, see the sign up ahead
You take the last turn, I’m awake again
Shake Shack, hold the door, I’m coming in starving
Hot fries in my hands—now I’m back from the brink

[Outro]
We made it, we made it—pull into the lot
I’m already smiling at the first bite
