As I Sit In My Car
As I sit in my car
Reclined in my seat
Doors locked, lights dimmed
My four wheel retreat
Nestled in darkness
Just breathing for sound
I duck from their headlights
I don't want to be found
This is my think-tank
My safe room, my cave
Where I go to escape you
Where I come to be saved
I think about things
I think about you
All my sins and my secrets
Am I brave or a fool
And when unaccounted
Someone's looking for me
I'll put my seat upright
Push the start key
I'll drive to my burdens
Park a little too far
And inhale that last moment
As I sit in my car
