My First Car

My first car's still driving without me
Blasting the early 2000s on repeat
Static love songs from some iPod over FM
Sunroof rolled, headlights low, it's driving

I watch it passing just as startled
As when making eye contact
Through a neighbor's window
And I realize it's just some
Poster of an actor I don't know

Epiphany after epiphany
I feel like I'm sitting
In the middle of the street

Epiphany after epiphany
And I might as well be sitting
In the middle of the street

My first car's gone a long way some hundred k
Trolling this forgotten city without me
Full of lights and sounds new and old
Among people and places that I used to know
Yeah my first car it's still driving

But you don't see me
And I feel like I'm sitting
Right in the back seat

Epiphany after epiphany
I see it and know I'm going
I see it and know when I get there

I'm there to stay
I'm there to stay

Nowhere near where you'd think
Nowhere near where you'd think
But I do hope you're still kicking without me
Nowhere near where you'd think
Nowhere near where you'd think
