Drive Home

Late at night a forced drive home In the dark they’re both alone She lays in her bed with thoughts of him in her head He stays between yellow lines Counting the time until he sees her again On the radio one of their songs How he longs to be driving the other direction She squeezes a bear and holds real tight A gift given for these nights She worries as time quickly passes by The towns drag by but he’s home and alive She receives his call and breathes a sigh They say goodnight and their I love yous wishing they were by the other’s side
