Started the car up and sat for a minute, Just to take this place in from a different angle and distance. No shit I miss it, but I’m getting old now, Feeling bloated cause I know that I’ve outgrown this town Windows down to catch the familiar breeze, Meditating on how great the old days used to be Tank’s on E, but the memories never stop, So either way, safe to say I’m leaving this parking lot Switch on the system to get my mind right, Flip on my lights for the 20/20 hindsight You’re leavin with me, so keep your seatbelt fastened Cause tonight we’ll be driving flyin’ at light speed backwards And when we catch what happened, we’ll be back at square one, But let’s act like we’re laughing cause getting there’s half the fun Ignore the rain outside, it’s just for show, Time to take you to my favorite place I know, here we go
You and I know what you wrote in the notes, But I favor improvisation, let’s make it up as we go This is a road with many exits, so the effect is I sometimes press eject quick, not knowing what’s left of it The casette’s been taped over, I know it’s over, But I swear I just left the recorder in this Explorer, And I adore you. Please listen, we can fix this, Let’s go back and re-track this, our friends will never miss it This is our secret road, our hidden hideaway, I know that you’re mine when we’re in this time and place Wish I could drive by it every day in this weather, And remember every second of when got back together Nevertheless, the rain keeps falling, the sky keeps crying, And I am divided between the darkness and the light The sun rises in the sky as I drive by, And just like the night, a small part of me dies
It seems I’ve stalled out, so I’m waitin on the corner Sortin’ through former events to get my sense back in order Holdin’ only two quarters, a nickel and no dimes, Feeling forty-five cents from a full piece of mind Digging through ashes for an answer, I’ll find it, Cause true beauty lies in the blue eyes of blind men If time was an item I could stop and rewind, Then I’d head back and step out of that trap that I climbed in Frightened like an ideal horror episode, My mind is a mine field ready to blow, So watch your step, the farther you get, the more you know, The scars that you left have torn a hole The soul is wrecked, disconnected from the best my tries To disguise what I despise in the midst of my demise It’s cold on the horizon as I open my eyes, And realize the perfect fit isn’t made in my size.
