things that are close and far

we drive the car
well, you drive the car,
but we all drive the car too
and I am an irresponsible driver.
i'm not watching the road, turning with the curves
i'm watching you, watching you watch the road, watching you
turning with the curves
following the yellow line
the white line
the dotted straight curvy solid line
i'm counting the times the headlight hits the line
of course it doesn't really
but it does from where I sit
1
38
89
147
i'm awake again, don't worry
but maybe you never knew, and if you
don't know you don't worry,
that I figured out a long time ago.
After all, you've had your line to occupy you
it's a very nice trick they've made
letting you follow this line down the road

Thumbs Up

I really like this one. The meaning is much deeper than it seems on the surface, especially with being an irresponsible driver and following the line. A lot of conformity lies in the undercurrent; very good. Great job.
