Your pale grass colored eyes flickered towards me in the passenger seat; cigarette out the window I stare at my ruby colored lips in the side view mirror You drum your fingers on the wheel to Blue Bossonova I remember the dream catcher hanging from the mirror catching my eye; a majestic golden hue from the sunlight reflecting off of it. We weren't supposed to be driving the car, We both knew this, but we were rebels So I had climbed out my window without my parents knowing ripping my jeans in the process just to be with you. Had I known it would be the last time I'd touch you; Had I known it would be the last time I'd kiss your lips I would have stayed in my bed The Shins blaring through my headphones Thinking about all the things I'm going to do with you Had I known it would be the last time seeing you smile The last time hearing you breathe Hearing you talk      Touching your skin I would have obeyed my parents rules for once. Instead of staring at your pretty green eyes I stare at the pretty headlights coming our way I feel the car swerve to the left; the dream catcher falling The car spinning like a dradle in the air It was like everything were in slowmotion As I look over at you in horror your pale green eyes flicker away from mine closing as if to say "I'm sorry." The car comes to a hault. You were motionless as we were upside down Tears fall down my ****** cheeks I scream at you to wake up; but you wouldn't Then I stopped wasting my breath I stopped Like your heart Had I known it would be the last time I'd touch you; Had I known it would be the last time I'd kiss your lips I would have stayed in my bed The Shins blaring in my headphones because now I'm fantasying about all the things we could have done About all the things we could have said like "You're paying for the electrical bill this time." or "I do." Now I'm stuck listening to Blue Bossonova blaring in my headphones thinking about all the things I'd have to do without you Had I known

Had I Known
