"Skimming Between The Lines"

Drifting,

Wind whistling
Through a window;
Trying to avoid the glare
From the passenger seat.

What grief
Did overcome me
When I missed the turn
For the off ramp.

Mystified by the scenery
Of flowing meadows;

Distracted,

Unable to keep my eyes
Between the lines

Why didn't I reach over
And tell you
That I loved you
When I had the chance?

Did I notice the curve
When I slowed up
Where the road turns?

I've been down this route before
Chasing detours,
Trying to find my way
To your heart.

My friends tell me
I should hit the highway,

And yeah,

That's the surest way
If you're trying to find a destination...

...But life seems to move a lot faster

When you don't know where you're going.
