tonight i unlocked your car
and sat in the drivers seat
just so i could feel like i was
near you
if i close my eyes tight enough
i could swear that the road is beneath me
taking me somewhere else
and for a split second
it all feels like it used to
i find myself there often
desperately reaching for a memory
fingers stretched as far as they can go
pleading for an opportunity to touch it
for just a second
if i close my eyes tight enough
it’s just you and i
and an early morning
and you’re taking me to school
