Nostalgia

Sitting in the library 

The world has gone to sleep 

The Avett Brothers play enthusiastically in my ears

 

I can recall the gentle hum of the wheels 

The passing of street lights 

And the endless stars above my head

 

The hours in the car on road trips 

My brother by my side 

In the backseat of a blue Chrysler 

 

My mother pinching our knees when we fought

Our laughs blending together 

Mumford & Sons accompany our symphony 

 

These are the trips of our lives

The ones we make when young

With our family 

 

Songs bring me back to those times

In the backseat of a blue Chrysler 

Driving down i-80 to western USA 

 

The Lumineers were my lullaby 

Now they’re my own Prozac

Calming my fluttering belly 

 

I miss those moments

On the road 

With you
