The chilly breeze will take hold of your hands
As I raise mine to reach for the winds and we're speeding down the empty road
Music adding color to our night even though it wasn't black and white
That's all life felt like for so long
Black and white
Until those eyes of yours began to glow without the sun
You became your own sun and made everything seem so much more bright
The moon highlighted our path
Not caring if we knew it by the bump in the road from a tree root
The same tree that tried to steal my favourite scarf with one low branch
Now I wave the same bright red scarf in the wind
Because no one can take it away from me again
Until the car comes to a slow halt and you turn the headlights off
One stubby finger points at a small house
Who always complains about the kids that drive by too fast
Yelling and screaming about the speed limit
To the point that white soccer mom calls the cops
You slowly put the car into reverse and I hover my thumb over the play button
The volume cranked as high as it will let us
Slamming on the gas and blaring music
We speed by the old house
A bedroom light immediately turning on
Once we're at a safe distance
We stop and laugh until we can't breathe
Everything feels perfect as the sun finally begins to rise over the trees
