Watch For Ice On Bridge


The sun never shines quite as bright as it did that night
Soak in that garish glow
Everyone knew where we are, til we started the car
And followed the radio
Past the point of no return


We slept with the lights dark
We kept the car in park
But forgot to set the emergency brake
I didn’t steer and we slipped into gear
And ended up in a lake


Somehow, we lost control
Maybe when when the lights went dim
Hard to steer a queen sized bed
The speed bumps didn’t slow us down
Too slick for tires tred
It taught me how to drive, and swim


Summer streets of sunshine
Blue skies and late nights
Almost like going back in time
To when our roads and eyes had lights
Before we fell from Such Great Heights
What happened to our timeline?
Why did greens and blues become grays and whites?
Ice paved paths should be a crime
Then at least I’d get read my rights
And learn the reason for these fights


I’ve learned a lot since then too
Like keeping both hands on the wheel
And to always wear my seatbelt
I’ve learned how to handle thanks to the curves thrown by you
Detours, potholes, and obstacles unreal
Sunshine, downpours, and hailstones that pelt
Blown fuses, flat tires, and brakes worn through
And a hit and run sideswipe for a courteous yield
I hope you never have to feel what I’ve felt…
