Driving Back

Stay right here. Lights are passing by the window frame. Your hand resting on the console space. Radio is playing something we both know, But neither of us speaks to name. The city fades to open road. Your silhouette against the glow. I'm memorizing how this feels Before we have to let it go. We're driving back from where we've been. The night still hanging on our skin. No promises we have to make. Just one more turn, one more mistake. We're driving back, but taking long. The dashboard lit, your favorite song. No need to rush the ending here. Just stay beside me. Stay right here. Your jacket's In the backseat where you left it last. The heater hums a steady beat. I take the slower route without explaining why. You smile, but don't say anything. The streetlamps paint us gold and dark. Your fingers tapping out the park. I'm holding on to every mile Before we have to fall apart. We're driving back from where we've been. The night still hanging on our skin. No promises we have to make. Just one more turn, one more mistake. We're driving back, but taking long. The dashboard lit, your favorite song. No need to rush the ending here. Just stay beside me. Stay right here. I know your door is coming soon. The porch light waiting in the blue. But right now, we're suspended in this moment That we're passing Through. We're driving back from where we've been. The night still hanging on our skin. No promises we have to make. Just one more turn, one more mistake. We're driving back, but taking long. The dashboard lit, your favorite song. No need to rush the ending here. Just stay beside me. Stay right here. Stay right here. Stay beside me One more year.
