Safe Passage

Tried to walk across the interstate. Racing cars forbade the exercise Lively faces passing by in front of me Happy thoughts are noticed in their eyes Picture my life riding there along with them, Not a stranger just a friend On a pilgrimage to understand ourselves Don't anticipate an end I have lost a part of me But it ain't no reason to cry Something that I dream't away Cost me everything I've tried Dreams of Parisian vacations Never taken but imagined still In a time of better habits Loving all that I could not fulfill Life's a gas but at least it's fast Try to breathe, if you can take your time Take a note, to remind yourself That giving up seldom goes as expected Feeling this is how I disappear. Imagining myself in a haze Amble on along the interstate. I've been traveling for days Swarms of cars are moving all around. Never thumbing for a ride Countless strangers on a path of their own. Not a single one defined There's no need to salvage sunlight. Afternoons retain what's good Blazing out where memories soar. Spent too much time misunderstood Filled with these old dreams of Paris. Someone else to bring me there Me a stranger in a strange way. With a lasting chance to care Life's a gas but at least it's fast Try to breathe, if you can take your time Take a note, to remind yourself That giving up seldom goes as expected Life's a gas but at least it's fast Try to breathe, if you can take your time Take a note, to remind yourself That giving up seldom goes as expected
