I hate 6am driving
Eating my breakfast on the road, making a mess on the seat
Crumbs fall into every crook, cranny, crevice
Copious caffeine fights the urge to fall asleep at the wheel
Because I've got a destination to go & I don't wanna die
Though I wanna sleep, though I wanna dream
Too tired to keep my eyes open, & the rising sun blinds them
Roll down the windows & turn up the volume
Adjust the visors & sing along to each song
Talk to myself, keep myself company, keep myself awake, keep myself sane
Count the houses I'm passing by, imagine what might be inside
Sometimes I wonder what would happen if I just stopped off wherever I pleased
Explored these places I've never been
Or if I just kept driving & driving to someplace I've never seen
Gave myself a new story
