lyrics

Through the trees, we roll along
a beaten path in silent song
waiting for the day to die
and bring the night so we can ride
beneath the still moon beaming slow
our eyes reflect her crimson glow
blazing forth unspoken crime
it sickens air and thickens time

The forest burns now as we ride
and circles bright beneath our eyes
The night, as real as it seems,
blurs into a youthful dream
for miles stretching, leading home
our resonating thoughts, unknown
and growing near in distant sight
patiently waits the front porch light

Stay guided by the green
not the red and the blue
Don't worry about me man
you know I'm cool
The ferris wheel will be rolling in her soon
so hold on

With daylight high
we wake and rise
the sun bakes through a hazy sky
coursing warm into our humble eyes
Now gold youth thrives on memory
so hold your breath in long to see
the sacred subtleties of summer nights

I couldn't miss her if I tried
We're moving forward with graceful time
I couldn't miss her if I tried
Look in the rearview one last time

We left that all behind
we keep these wheels smoking
as we drive home tonight
burned out but far from broken
and all along we searched
for something still unknown
just keep on driving man
I think it's further down the road
