That Dark Road

It's dark, but of course,
It was night, then
That marmalade finally turned herself in
She was so stingy during the day

Movies tell you to open your window 
And 'feel' the wind
So that you could feel like you're in a music video
Did that, the jitters just won't leave
'Heart, won't you sit still!'

Turned worse
This endless road
This empty highway
Mocked me as if I deserve this loneliness
I smiled, but of course, as if that would suffice

Slower than the green shells
I'm talking about that animal you're thinking of
No, don't take offense
Not talking about you *smirk
I meant the car

It's dark, of course
It was night, then
The big damn truck just had to race
It's time to step up
Bye bye lonely road
