Did I ever really know?

A breeze,
carries with it the strength and serenity of my memories,
releasing any presence of despair.

How long before this feeling fades?
How long before reality hits again?

Prolonging these moments,
the power is hard to possess.
Time will absorb what it wants
and won't give back what you're longing for.

Give me a chance to relive again.
Give me some peace with my own.
Go back, flash back, to that place
but this time...

I will open my eyes to the knowledge,
to the past of whats certainly there.
To the feeling of being emotionless-
I don't seem to mind, and you don't seem to care.
So meet me somewhere in the middle,
in the darkness where time won't catch up.
To the security of being lost in a distant place,
where morality and logic are mixed up.

This once, time won't be wasted
and I will never think to look back.
As what is thought will be said and done
and what is missed, time will lose track.

Fast Car- Tracy Chapman

You got a fast car
But is it fast enough so we can fly away
We gotta make a decision
We leave tonight or live and die this way

I remember we were driving, driving in your car
The speed so fast I felt like I was drunk
City lights lay out before us
And your arm felt nice wrapped 'round my shoulder
And I had a feeling that I belonged
And I had a feeling I could be someone, be someone, be someone

You got a fast car
And we go cruising to entertain ourselves
You still ain't got a job And I work in a market as a checkout girl
I know things will get better You'll find work and I'll get promoted
We'll move out of the shelter Buy a big house and live in the suburbs
