Kings of Leon
The road in front of us falls away,
The radio static becomes a wall we nod our heads to,
And the car splutters along like cheap fireworks
Again your eyes slide off the dash onto my hands
Which are busy being nervous.
In this silence it is impossible not to feel like an uninvited guest,
All flesh, no voice.
I reach to touch the speakers and this rope around us
Snaps.
After two hours, three dirt roads, and one discussion of what real rock music is,
We still have an ocean in front of us
Maybe April comes early this year
Maybe winter decides to stay home
Maybe my skin becomes a lighthouse
Just maybe.
You are the last shred of lightning that connects me to the storm.
