Lyrics
with windows down we raced the wind the backroad rolling forever between cornfields stretched thin with spring cornfields stretched thin with spring the sun was setting on exhaust the radio drowned at dusk the words between the two of us the words between the two of us no sound outside the world of us all the songs we shouted out and laughing at the place we crossed and laughing at the place we crossed there's no chance of getting lost there's no choice of giving up no taste of sorrow in your smile no trace of fear left in your eyes let the engine open wide too far too fast to change our minds stick out our arms and we could fly we'll leave this place so far behind the road will end we'll be all right (up and away into the night) everything is on our side (we'll leave this place so far behind) no thought for what tomorrow brings (nothing changes, no one leaves) just our strange velocity (of all the world you're here with me) no taste of sorrow in your smile (there's no chance of giving up) laughing at the place we crossed (the words between the two of us) cornfields stretching thin with spring (all the words lost in between) laughing at the place we've been (you're fearless when you look at me) into the night with everything

Author's Notes
this song is an experiment with structure and melody, and it's not done yet. i'm uploading it to test dreamhost. i'm planning to do a lot more with it in terms of other chords and instruments, and maybe a slower drum build-up. and maybe better deliberate harmonies. and i'm not sure having "windows" and "wind" in the same line is cool. and maybe i will scrap the whole business. i don't know.
