We set out that night
To have the greatest adventure
In the world.
1am, our minds alive
With possibilities and consequences,
Not caring about either.
2am, our bodies shivering
From thrill, fear and cold
Shattered by headlights and voices.
Fear, creeping up between us
Through the water, up to our noses
Barely touching the surface.
It doesn't reach our shaking hands, though,
Steady together.
3am, crouching, leaning as far against the wall as we dare
Concentrating on the top of our heads.
You give me a look that says everything.
4am, trudging through the dark and the grass,
Was it worth it?
It was worth it.
To have the greatest adventure
In the world.
1am, our minds alive
With possibilities and consequences,
Not caring about either.
2am, our bodies shivering
From thrill, fear and cold
Shattered by headlights and voices.
Fear, creeping up between us
Through the water, up to our noses
Barely touching the surface.
It doesn't reach our shaking hands, though,
Steady together.
3am, crouching, leaning as far against the wall as we dare
Concentrating on the top of our heads.
You give me a look that says everything.
4am, trudging through the dark and the grass,
Was it worth it?
It was worth it.
