Car Crash

I’m crashing on your sky with my hand

if I’m stuck with this many wheels

how can I chart a course?


I started in her bedroom

a tidy Zoom background

2001 pretty neoclassical

but don’t look too close at the wallpaper

or the poor folks hung on the curtain tassels

so I pulled up quick, and charted a course

you said where we goin?

I said I don’t know

but I know I gotta go on my own

the sky was frothing like seltzer water

when I took the keys and left

you said how can you even drive in this weather

but that was the plan

don’t know where I’m goin to get to but

wash out my love so I can’t come back

the sky’s goin’ orange as you start crying

and I didn’t mean to make you bleed

out on the purple sky

we didn’t stand a chance

but you don’t plan on listening to me

I didn’t wanna be one of those people who hurts

a halo of harm

shove you into the dirt

but I just don’t see how else to steer my car

so I’m crashing’ on your sky with my hand
