Drive Alone

(Album: 5am Paradise - 2022)

Cherry blossoms and the full moon rising
Up from being half asleep
I didn't fall in love but fell enough
To really scrape my knees
Old lovers turnings to friends
It's a loose cannon beginning again
I'm not a runaway just drive alone these days

The four seasons by the Raleigh airport
Dogwoods blowing in the wind
Kind of anxious but kind of tired
Looking back I never thought it would end
My mother knows I'm always alone
I rest assure her that I'm still coming home
I'm not a runaway just drive alone these days

Oh oh it's easy traveling slow
Oh oh I'm learning to let go

I missed the party that you had last May
Couldn't face the bullshit and the patio games
Don't need a lucky star or guiding light
Just someone from my memory to hold me tight
An old lover or even a friend
I'll deep dive just to go there again
I'm not a runaway just driving slow these days

Oh oh it's easy traveling slow
Oh oh I'm learning to let go

Cherry blossoms and the full moon rising
Up from being half asleep
