Discolored

Polaroids of the two of us scattered on the passenger seat I drive down this endless highway Everything seems to shimmer in the heat A/C broken, windows down, Cigarettes in the ash tray Bridges burning hot behind me,light the path The car burning on fumes of hope and fear The clouds behind me, thick with wrath I drive towards the beach, i was never much of a romantic I took you here once last year We held hands an watched the sun sink into the Atlantic I wonder what the hell drove me here The memories haunt me like ghosts All of them hidden deep in the vaults But I am attracted to them like moths to a flame I start wondering about faults and who is to blame And the what ifs and what might have been Even the good times seem tainted Discolored with anger and too much gin All these memories and the picture the painted All at the sight of dihydrogen oxide They rushed forward like a flood Overflowing my heart inside I guess water is thicker then blood
