Little Whispers

Driven

Doubt the weather will improve
Shall we go anyway?
Walls are closing in at home
Will you come out to play?
Casual dress is perfect
For this peaceful rendezvous
Undress by the water
If the heat hits *32
I will come collect you
As I'd like you by my side
You are the chosen passenger
I want you on this ride
We'll avoid all the traffic
We'll take the scenic route
We'll put everything we need
Neatly in the boot
Buckle up, companion
Let's get on the road
Sit back, relax, companion
Let's escape the daily load
Wind the window down
Feel the breeze ruffle our hair
Gaze out at the scenery
Not long, we're almost there
Songs on the car radio
Will you sing along?
The soundtrack to this day trip
Where we escape the throng
As I put my foot down
Shifting up the gears
Handling the tarmac curves
Exhilarating fear
Just a moment's madness
It will never cause real fright
My mission here is simple
I want to set your heart alight
My destination for us
To you is still unknown
I have a place in mind for you
One I hope you make your own
There's not much I could offer you
Take it as a gift
Your company is all I need
As alone, is how I tend to drift
Hidden in plain view, this spot
That I fortunately found
Now I can return again
With a good friend around
The only clock we'll watch today
Is when our tummies moan
No concrete plan to stick to
No distractions as we roam
We could sit in silence
We could talk all day
We could just doze off in that spot
While the background music plays
There's no rush on my part
To return to where I stay
Pulling over for a drink
At this random cafe
If you want, take the wheel
For the last few miles
Anything that ends the day
With contented smiles
