Just Another Memory

We got the top down, starry sky overhead. The wind swirling around us. She gives up all hope of keeping her hair under control. That smile's contagious. A seductive voice seeps from the stereo and pulls us into a world where we're only half-conscious. The streets are quiet. Everyone asleep in their beds, living their normal lives, with their 4-door sedans and 40-hour workweeks. The two of us?? We're living proof that freedom still exists in a world of walls and boundaries. Everybody dreams of the time they were young and free. We're livin' it. This road doesn't turn for miles. I suddenly lose all fear, and let that other side of myself take over.. A car approaches from the other direction. It doesn't matter. At 150, you're nothing but a blur. "Close your eyes". I drive to that spot on the coastline, with the perfect view over the crashing waves. And in this moment, I imagine a world where we could be together. But I close my eyes and remind myself, it's just for tonight. When the sun rises we'll part ways again like we always do. And I'll be stuck wondering if this is all we'll ever have... It's quiet now. The sun still sleeps. And when she wakes, you'll be a memory...
