Thursday Follow

The lights go down, outside

Before our cars collide

And so we silhouette ourselves

For these shades of fire

Do you know where this is leading?

I will meet you there

On the other side of the crash

On the other side of the glass

All our friends are falling out

Can’t look us in the eye

We’re there to hear that broken sound

Happens when we’re

All alone inside

In the middle of the night

I hear your voice I feel the shake (ashamed?)

Every time I say it

Car crash came and car crash went

So I went along with it

Girl, you’re love's not coming back

You’ll never be the same

Don’t look away

I need to know

If this is real

In the hospital ward sleeps through the surgery

Hiding needles in the drawers for emergency

While outside they wait in the pouring rain

On the other side of the glass…

Don’t look away

I need to know

If this is real

Don’t look away

I need to know

When will this end?

The IV drips the days drag on

Adjust the light switch in the hall

Maybe the x-ray screen keeps it from getting dark

The bulb burns out when it gets too hot

Keep crashing this car, over and over

Till in spins out of control

So hold me closer, I might disappear

This time, out of control

Like currents in the water we cannot go off the shore

We lost control
