There's this flash I get often,
a fever dream or a vision of sorts
And I haven't found out why,
I'm on this road and I hear gravel
underneath me and I feel it too
And I don't know where I am,
but I know exactly where I am
It's dark, It's really dark
And the car is warm but somehow I can feel
I don't know where the road leads
but I know exactly where it ends
And all I see for the longest while
is my headlights, for an eternity it seems
And everything is desolate and empty
I'm lost but I know where I'm going
I'm safe, I'm warm, I'm driving
And I see this small light
A dim one, growing brighter and bigger
And the closer I get the more I see
I make out a house with light strewn across it,
that haven't been touched for hours
I hear a song, and it's faint,
I can't make out the name
and it's cold and there's crunching,
and its the sound of driveways
And the wind takes takes my breath with it
Then I walk up to this door and knock,
even though I feel I don't have to
And I don't know where I am
but I know exactly where I am
And this crack of light widens
on this porch underneath me
And this brown haired girl
the warmest home I'd ever seen
Its orange and comfortable, there's fire
I've been waiting for you all night,
She says through the kindest smirk
Then she tapers off the sentence
with the peaceful sound that a lady makes
She grabs me on the forearms
and pulls softly into the dining room
and they're happy and content for one
I don't know who they are
but I know exactly who they are
and I'm laughing at a joke I'll never hear again
but I know exactly where I am
And then she tucks her head
between my collar as a friend
Between my collar and my jaw
and there's no weight at all
And I don't know where I am
but there's no weight at all
And I don't know where I am
but I know exactly where I am
but I know exactly where I am
