We drove together to the road’s end It’s not like what you’re thinking It was just the end of the road We took a left Ended up lost somewhere on the hill behind town It’s not like that Didn’t even make out We just got lost Never stopped Didn’t get out to look at the stars or sit on the hood of the car like they do in the songs Just drove until it became clear that neither of us intended to talk about it Also if I didn’t figure out where home was I was going to run out of gas And besides we both worked in the morning There’s nothing louder than a love song on the radio turned all the way down In a car with two people who can’t decide if it still applies to them
