Long Drive

Sachi Ghalib


I know there's more that's waiting out there

But I'm drawn to the feeling of being stuck

And I can cry about what’s not fair

There's no one that's bothered to clean it up


I can’t see my own reflection now

My eyes are still adjusting to the light

I'll yawn and slowly bring the blinds down

So no one can notice from the outside


I’m waiting for the nights on the floor

I’m staring at the wall behind my door

I’ve seen it come alive when I’m falling and fading

But it’s been so long and I’m not sure


Bright snow and dark days seem to go on

I’d never wanted them to be obsolete

I wish that what I love would be gone

Everything I had would come back to me


So I'll brush past the mess that I make

Close my eyes while wondering where we are

Forget what hurts and pace the driveway

For all I know I'm headed somewhere far


I’m waiting for the nights on the floor

I’m staring at the wall behind my door

I’ve seen it come alive when I’m falling and fading

But it’s been so long


And I hate it whenever I care too much

I fake it ‘cause I’ll always fuck it up

I’ve seen it come alive when I’m falling and fading

But I can't hold on it's not enough
