shal I set the stage?

a sun soaked highway
burning with daylight
the kids are wearing
nothing of consequence

the beat starts
simple and fast
can you hear the drums?
your heart races

everything slows
people are moving
cue the revving engines
here it comes

a pair of scions
blue and white
speed down the dragway
and we're off

I look at you
as you see me
behind a plane of glass
you're worth the smirk

you kick it up
I'll return the serve
after this dip
we'll be flying

bounce back down
take that turn
I can ride this out
to see where it's headed

uh-o, sirens approaching
lead the way
I will follow
to the checkered flag

My fears are silenced
as you slow to a stop
a little too fast for me
I swerve to keep you untouched

I am turning sideways
then upside down
rubber assuring
a second bout

revolutions, revelations
smoke and mirrors
I let myself out
I'm gonna run for my life

the clock ticks down
that things gonna explode
I hear the sound of
a car door slammed

3 2 1 and jump
KABOOM
shot from 3 different p.o.v.s.
I hit the ground and roll

The crackle of fire
the heat blurs your image
I am down, but not out
I am ready to live

and as i rise
bloody and beaten
bending up toward the day
I turn to you

the glory of love
seeps into your ears
and I walk towards you
slumped against the car

each step is heavy
my muscles are stone
then your face
and reach out my hand

I fall on my knees
smile then laugh
And I ask you honestly
can we go again?
