Feel Better

Feel Better
For a moment I feel better
For a moment I feel better
She couldn’t even wait for the sunset to leave
She used to lay her cheek on the asphalt to feel the heat
of the highway boiling from those brave enough to leave
she’d say, “oh, just you wait and see.”
I can almost see her face
but more so a place
found her in the fallout between
one more bad decision and grace
For a moment I feel better
For a moment I feel better
It’s a long night drive
quiet corners of your mind
warm enough to leave all the windows down
are you thinking about her now?
midnight fills the canyon on both sides of me now
the dark notes of her music still inside of me somehow
and it all feels as small as your hometown
no one ever told her she could slow down
For a moment I feel better
