Thanks for the Ride

Thanks for the ride
Probably shouldn’t have cut the brake lines
I should have thought this through a little better
Or got out at the first corner

Thanks for the wine
I probably should have saved some for tomorrow
I might have felt a little less hollow
I might have left before falling down

Thanks for the time
I forgot to wind the watch on my phone
I forgot to set the time to this zone
I must have slept through the alarms

Thanks for the pain
I might have thought things were possible again
I might have sought the ring on the carousel
I might have wished that I deserved it as well

Thanks for the rain
It washes down my face and hands
It cleans the world and stains the sand
It teased the end of this drought

Thanks for the flames
Thanks for remembering to forget my name
Thanks for appearing both right and sane
Thanks for the call that just rings and rings and rings

Thanks for the ride
Probably shouldn’t have cut the brake lines
Should have stopped at the stop sign
Or got out at the first lie
