No map, no radio,
just an empty vessel.
It finally finds a driver
as if they were meant to be.

The driver lost themself,
immersed in the forest of Ferraris,
so the mobile made a map.
The driver was annoyed by its car,
with its loud, enthusiastic engine,
so the mobile installed a radio.

All of these benefits came with a price:
The mobile needed more gasoline.
They were unwilling to spend gas money,
so the mobile drove them
to a bicycle shop.

The mobile sat in the garage,
thinking about how much it's grown.
A map and a radar,
this sweet car never knew
it could grow and create these.

It thought about
all the road trips they went on,
through the forests of Ferraris
and the lakes of Lamborghinis.
Such beautiful cars they saw,
but it assumed the driver still loved it.

It thought about
all the music they listened to
as they went on their exciting journeys.
Such wonderful tunes they enjoyed,
but it hoped the driver still loved its own tune.

It thought about
all the fun they had together.
The times they...
When they got to...

This mobile came cheap in price.
No map, no radio,
just an empty vessel.
The driver chose this mobile
out of sheer desperation,
yet the mobile hoped
it could be loved like any Ferrari.

This map it made,
this radio it installed,
all it did for them, proved
that it was no auto mobile.
