Long Drive
(Verse 1)
In a glove compartment, he finds a portrait of her,
A glimpse of the past, memories that stir.
With a heavy heart and a sigh of regret and lost hope,
He drives down the highways, searching for what he has lost.
(Pre-Chorus)
He remembers the laughter, the playful fights,
Holding the door for her, those sweet summer nights.
But the road stretches long, and their nerves stretch too,
And it’s picking up the pace now as he starts to break through.
(Verse 2)
Spilled drinks and arguments, the tension ignites,
just a moment ago she fells asleep, he covers her tight,
That was yesterday; now lost in a fight.
today she won’t look in his sight and stares outside
Verse 3
He slowed the car down, fearing a crash,
Afraid that his anger would lead to a clash.
He pulls to the side, with tears in his eyes,
“Please leave now,” he plea, as their love burns out.
(Pre-Chorus)
He takes all the bills from his wallet and presses them in her hand,
A desperate goodbye, as they both try to understand.
His phone keeps ringing, but he swipes each call away,
silence settles in, as he thinks of turning back to the place.
(Verse 3)
He left her behind in a hot desert like hell,
A place filled with danger, where love turned to despair.
He carried the burden of what he had done,
Hoping she’d find solace under the unforgiving sun.
(Chorus)
He looks in the mirror, and he sees her there,
Caught between sadness and happiness, two portraits he both bear.
In the rearview mirror, the past fades away,
The further he drives, the more he leaves her behind each day.
(Bridge)
Then fate brings her close, in a moment so bright,
He feels his heart lit, as she fills him with light.
A new spark ignites, with warmth that enchants,
Caught in this moment, where love takes its chance.
(Verse 4)
Her lover walks in, and the tension runs high,
She looks deeply in his eyes, igniting a sigh.
“Do you believe in fate?” she softly inquires,
As he grapples with flickering a longing desire.
(Chorus)
He looks in the mirror, and he sees her there,
Caught between sadness and happiness, two portraits he both bear.
In the rearview mirror, the past fades away,
The further he drives, the more he leaves her behind each day.
(Outro)
He looks in her eyes like in a mirror,
It’s like copy-paste of their thoughts, that repeat.
In parallel universes, where chance meets the risk,
He sees himself in her, lost in infinite regress
