Highway

I`m driving down
The same damned
Highway
And pass the place
Where everything once collapsed

Remembering
What happened to us
On the highway
Our story just
Ended in a bus

Twenty-something
Nothing bad could ever happen
We´re just about
To take off

You fell asleep
On the highway
Our story was
Just about to begin

This crash
Knocked us out of the dream
Of being immortal, extremes
And no instructions how to deal
With shockwaves in life
(With life´s shockwaves
With lifetime shockwaves)

And still
There´s a huge hole where you´ve been
Nothing left, but perplexity
Humming your great melodies
Always brings you closer
