The Ride

When this is all over

what comes next?

How long can we keep going

over these same roads

without changing?

I’ve got almost everything

I could’ve ever dreamed of

but nothing lasts forever

and which this works know

I worry about what happens

when you realize it’s not enough

And surely that’s a matter of when, not if,

at least if we’re being honest

It makes me think of a song

and the brutal honesty of fact

that you deserve more than I am

and probably more than I could ever be

I don’t know how I’ve gotten this lucky

to at least get to be part of this much of you

and I don’t know how much longer

this all can go on

but I wouldn’t give it up for the world

and I don’t want to risk it for anything

So please just let it be a gentle goodbye

when you find the one whose seat I’ve stolen

and let him up into the ride
