Drive
Alister Douglas
You were in the back seat
Counting lights that line the road
As they flash through your window
Like a dim lethargic strobe
The radio spits static
Trying to find a familiar sound
But we keep it on for comfort
To drown the silence out
It’s a long drive home
And I don’t know where this road goes
My eyes are getting heavy
As I squint into the rain
I curse myself for breathing
And waking you again
It’s a long drive home
And I don’t know where this road goes
And you say that I am absent
I’m asleep behind the wheel
And we’ve never known each other
And I guess we never will
It’s a long drive home
And I don’t know where this road goes
