A Reason to Worry

Turn the key
Start the engine
Let it warm up
Clear the window
Look away
Drive safe
It’s a long way back
On a night drive on your favorite road
In the winter
Your skin was cold
So I turned on the heat and there was fresh snow
It was beautiful
But made the car hard to handle
It was getting darker and darker and harder to see
But I was fine
At the time
Cause you
Were right next to me
I had no reason
No reason to worry
We had no reason
We were on our way home
I didn’t see it
Didn’t see it there
I couldn’t see it
Submerged in the snow
The car starts to drift off the road
First to the left
Then we regained control
Your left hand at my right hand were you frightened
Was it an act
Of misdirection
Did we fall out of love
I didn’t know what to do
But it was dark now and we were lost
But I guess
Neither of us really knew
I had a dream
Of a better place
For us
For you and I
I had a feeling
That I couldn’t trust
You with anything
Not even us
I had a feeling
That I couldn’t trust
You with anything
Not even us
Not even us
Not even us
The sky stuck to my head
It was a bad wreck
And you told me
I had fears of death
Which erodes
Bring out the worst of it
We hit eyes get bored of the extra day
I had a dream
Of a better place
