Brake Lights

Dash glow on your face, same street, Different way. Your name in my phone, I don't press, I just stare. Gas tank half full and my heart's worse than That. I drive past your block like it might Drive you back. I keep one hand on the wheel, one hand On the ache. If I get close enough, maybe you won't look Away. Brake lights, brake lights, you don't see me. Brake lights, brake lights, I stay in the seams. I want you, I want you, you want the Air. Brake lights, brake lights, I'm still right there. I'm still right there. Your porch light burns like a wound in the Dark. I know that chair, I know your front Yard. You laugh for them, I can hear it Through glass. I take the long way home just To make this last. I keep one hand on the wheel, one hand On the ache. If I get close enough, maybe you won't look Away. Brake lights, brake lights, you don't see me. Brake lights, brake lights, I stay in the seams. I want you, I want you, you want the Air. Brake lights, brake lights, I'm still right there. I'm still right there. Tell me where to put All this wanting now. And the backseat folds in the hollow sound. I could turn around, I could cut the line. But I chase your shadow Like a runaway Train. Brake lights, brake lights, you don't see me. Brake lights, brake lights, I stay in the seams. I want you, I want you, you want the Air. Brake lights, brake lights, I'm still right there. I'm still right there.
