Euphoria

Ring in your left pocket, shiny night,

Perfect place and a long drive,

You know what it means that tonight,

This highway is our heaven.

 

Faded vision from the streetlights, 

Outstretched trees - all in motion,

All at once, all our past fights,

We just forget, slowly and suddenly.

 

Aging like a fine wine,

Is the love of ours,

Darling, this is one of its kind,

Say you won’t leave me alone this time.

 

Seen all my fears from far,

I’ll bid them all a good goodbye,

“Honey, close the door, they’re now out of the car”,

And you say - it’s just for tonight.

 

Your eyes make their way to me,

Hands a little far with souls electrified,

It’s a little over midnight, we run away freely,

Far from what we call home.

 

And I… I’ll go wherever this road would take,

As soon as time stops, midnight ends,

Time flows and we’re wide awake,

This is the place I feel the most alive in.

Slow symphonies hitting our ears,

I’m glad I found you, though a little rough,

It’s always us - fighting with our fears,

And you’ll see everything tonight.

 

Cold wind, it’s mid October,

Lilac scarf wrapped around my neck,

My hand in yours, with eyes a little sober,

You know, “Won’t you promise?”

 

I’ve given something in me,

This drive rewinding all those bittersweet times,

Like one of the best scenes of a movie,

I don’t regret it because I finally have you.

 

Passenger seat, only inches away from you,

Your eyes distracted ‘cause it’s me,

The smile I’m wearing is yours - you don’t have a clue,

I don’t think I’ll return it any time soon.

 

Fought fear, drank every tear,

And so, I sit here, right beside you,

All those people haunting me, but you’re here,

I don’t believe in love but I feel something so real.

 

Chasing the moon, I think this one time,

With you by my side, my dreams are complete,

I won’t fear to say you’re mine,

There’s no losing in this game.

Dreams coming true, light of the tower,

Eyes shimmering with pride,

Absent voices with heartbeats getting louder,

Walked a thin line - finally at the edge of something surreal.

 

And we shall not fear the end,

You know, ends are often the beginnings,

And once again, with my hand in your hand,

I think I’ve now seen all that the universe holds.
