you've got maniac instability
i've got viral insecurity
banishment is the penalty
for our unforgiven sins

refusing to wash our dirty hands
and listen to our parents' reprimands
now we're off to foreign lands
i hope we get there soon

driving in your beat up car
i look out the window to wish on a star
asking it to help us make it as far
as we need to go

we count up the money we have to spend
seems like we couldn't find any people to lend
i guess for ourselves we'll have to fend
until we reach the place

you look over and we begin to talk
then your car breaks down, we get out to walk
i look out for creatures 'cause they tend to stalk
their prey late at night

walking in the dark, it begins to rain
dyes begin to run, my jeans garner stains
we're jealous of the cars in the opposing lanes
they drive past us without a care

your face, so familiar, and in this light
your eyes they shine out, they're oh so bright
i have a feeling that tonight is the night
that i will tell you my little tale

the story of my true and undying liking
of you, as we continue hiking
but then you stop, and look at me, striking
you think that we should head back

head back to that place we could have been
when we were welcome, way back when
but here is now, and now is not then
i don't think it's a good idea

you say that you need time to think
we need a small place, with a bed and a sink
we finally find a motel, with sheets that are pink
i guess it's good enough for now

it's not long before you get in the shower
i waited around for about half an hour
i pick up your shoes to smell them, they're sour
then you finally decide come out

you're wrapped in a towel, i smell the soap
that familiar scent gives me a shred of hope
so i decide to tie you up with a rope
and do what you always wanted

we wake up the next morning, disheveled and tired
i drink some coffee, it gets me wired
this isn't what i thought would transpire
but now i just don't care

you seem to have forgotten about what you said
as we lay there in that pink sheet covered bed
i wanted to sleep, but you got up instead
and said it was time to leave

so we get dressed in our now dry clothes
and wash our shoes out with a hose
i hate the squishy feeling they give my toes
but there's no time to complain

i don't know where we're going to go
somewhere nice, where we can take it slow
live our lives under the sun's soft glow
but will we be together

i always had a feeling you might leave
you always seemed the type to deceive
it was something i didn't want to believe
i guess i'll find out now

the moment i found out i was wrong
was when i realized it was you all along
that had caused me to become so strong
and break out of my shell

so i'll tell you now, straight to your face
everyone else here's trying to enter their lives in a race
but i just want to live without being a disgrace
to everyone i've ever known

i've always loved you, now and then
i know you're just part of a beautiful sin
but i will always remember that moment when
your car broke down that night

the rain was pouring
my heart rate was soaring
and my inner lion was roaring
it was chasing after you

so now we're off to somewhere new
i'm just happy because i'm with you
it's always been something i've wanted to do
let my lion go free.

poetic comments: ah, just a fantasy of mine. not much to say really. i want to get away from this place soon as possible though. i'm getting fed up. =P and i used to be such a good person and i was so afraid of everything but now i've become this daredevil fast driving caffeine drinking crazy person...lol crazy the way things change...
