Static on the speaker keeps me from thoughts I’m trying not to think. I’ve been losing sleep, silence something new to me. I didn’t think about it when I sent it through the airwaves. Failed to mention you were breaking down. Now mostly I just drive around and listen to the records that you burned with scribbled words I can’t remember.
It’s not the same old rock and roll that they play on the radio. She goes “turn the lights down low.” I had it once and let it go. I guess I should’ve said it when I meant it, when I felt the same. Now seven years and two or three I wish had turned out differently. The look inside your eyes just like the disappearing skyline in the rear-view. Play me something new. I don’t know if I’ll ever feel the same again. Skipping needle in my vein. Your song always stuck inside my head. I’ll still be here when the music fades.

Empty Roads

Say you just might stay home this time. It's January, getting cold outside, nowhere to hide.
Your old bedroom, said we're all doomed. Waiting for their answer or to read some more bad news. The kind that I already knew. I tied to tell you.
I saw you on the train. It carried you away. Left standing in your place. The seasons come and go and you don't even know the way back to your home.
Got a phone call. Lost it last fall. Staring at the photographs of faces on the wall. Old friends I never knew at all. Didn't take long.
Turn up the stereo. I'm better off alone. Old songs and empty roads. I lost you in the crowd where you feel safe and sound. The easy way out.
