///

My mind races as I see a thousand
Different futures
All with you
All the different outcomes from
A thousand little choices made by you

The fear makes you close your eyes but
I’m here, and mine are wide open with fear
And it’s your car but in these moments I
Can’t not just reach over and steer

What shall we do, where shall we go if
This fear starts to steer and your body
Reacts to your choices faster than
Your mind. I know I’m unkind when the
Thousand voices that scream inside of me
Seep out and I start to shout at you

I just want to wrap you up until you’ve
Caught up so that these hiccups stay
Just that and you never have to look back
And wonder what could have been if you
Would have seen and steered clear of
Those trees

And the more we steer around those trees
The more the fear will ease
I don’t care who steers
I just want all of those years with you
