Dashboard

Sunlight
Dying on the dashboard until

Our whole world turns to peach
And you’re just out of reach

Who am I to ever wake up again
If you’re gone, now you’re gone

And I’ll never be the same
Your warmth so comforting
Escapes
And I’m left aching

I replay the haunting news
Though I can’t accept the truth
You’re so far away
And my heart’s forever changed
But in my dreams we don’t need cars
Cause we all occupy a part of
One of God’s eternal scars
And we’re singing in the dark

And I’ll never be the same
Your warmth so comforting
Escapes
And I’m left aching

I hear you call my name
Your voice reverberates
Through time
But mine forsakes me

Your absence is an echo
Screaming, “let go”
But I can’t let go

How does a one friend
Become a ghost
Or a shadow
With a smoke ring halo?

And I’ll never be the same
Your warmth so comforting
Escapes
And I’m left aching

I hear you call my name
Your voice reverberates
Through time
But mine forsakes me

Who am I
To ever wake up again
If you’re gone, now you’re gone
Here I lie
Dying on the dashboard until
My whole world fades to dark
And you’re back in my arms
