Double Yellow Lines

More words for now. The videos are going to have to wait. And maybe when they come they won't have to be shot in my bathroom. This song is a different one for me to write, it is a bit more modern and pop-like. I hear Death Cab for Cutie performing this. Of course you can't hear the music at this point, you can only read the words. But there you have it.

Double Yellow Lines

Verse
"Remember this,"
He says after they kiss.
His list gets shorter by the bliss
In her eyes,
The paralyzing pair that they are.

He walks to his car,
He opens the door,
Puts his seat belt on,
Puts the pedal to the floor.

Chorus
If you drive away from this,
You'll leave a part of yourself behind.
But you're not afraid of passing cars
On double yellow lines.

Verse
"Remember this,"
He says into the air.
But there's no one there to hear him swear.
Like all the moments that we share,
It's not where
But with whom.

He walks to his room,
Puts his suitcase down,
Pulls the windows up,
The clarity surrounds.

Chorus
If you drive away from this,
You'll leave a part of yourself behind.
But you're not afraid of passing cars
On double yellow lines.

Chorus (outro)
You're not afraid of what you feel,
Only afraid of what you'll find.
Only tragedy is real.
You are a parody of time.

You are a product of yourself;
A book without a spine.
You're not afraid of passing cars
On double yellow lines.
