Nine Thousand Miles
Maybe goodbyes
were not meant for you and me
Now that we are at crossroads
Remember the night
you wanted to drive and
I let you take the wheel?
The radio was playing
a Bruce Springsteen song
that I can’t remember now
While you drove
effortlessly
as I held your hand
and we shifted gears
together
And just like that
we kept driving for
Nine thousand miles
You and I
down the highway
that lead us where dreams go wandering
in warm winter nights
And now here we are
Where the road forks
into untold stories
Maybe they will
meet again
Where rivers finally meet
before melting into the ocean
Or maybe they won't
Who knows
But let me get out
for a moment
I think I need a smoke
and a walk
down that unpaved road
into that unknown horizon
It’s dark now and
I can’t see very far
But it’s okay,
you know
Take the car now
And take care
You still remember how to drive, right?
