eddie money

people i currently miss:









--

letting go of holding close
i'd rather cling to these dark roads
no one loves me like my high beams
warding off pale eyes on black streets
nights i've wasted with people i don't
know enough to form a care
i've spilt my pen on so many heads
but the ink never sinks in
so i empty these thoughts behind the wheel
driving until my breathing slows
shaking in the cold with the windows down
letting my mind scream itself out
i could take the blame the cause the fault
and throw it anywhere 'round my head
but i'll keep it in
carry loves and sins
give meaning to leaving this behind
there's a world i'm trying to find
need to push across state lines
or i feel too damn old
as young as i may look
i haven't found the words
to fill another book
so i need a new escape to within
to devise some lines around this life
give me cause to stay
i need to leave
to be at peace
i need to stay
to be ok.
