The Guiding Light

Summer came and you left it all behind

Red Sox games and Red Line trains

Told yourself that nothing stays all dizzy and bright

Traded it all to watch the world glide by

Through that back bench-seat window

How could you not go?

Everywhere you went, your friends were waiting there

Held onto nothing, so that nothing could break in the end

Envied everyone who was not you

And never forgave the rules that were older than time

That made time

Gravity did

Gravity did

Gravity did

Gravity did

What gravity does

So you just kept on running

Remembering Led Zeppelin songs with your feet on her dash

But her words, they chase you still

Those highway lines will never love you back
