Passenger Seat

Death Cab for Cutie

I roll the window down and begin to breathe in. The darkest country road and the strong scent of evergreen from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.

We are on our way home from her parents' house. It's a quiet night and I'm slowly slipping into sleep as the sound of the car rumbled down the dark road. Something about the sky makes me feel so happy; at peace with the world. In love maybe.

Then looking upwards I strain my eyes and try to tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites from the passenger seat as you are driving me home.


I am getting more tired and my eyelids are closing, but I open them just enough so I can the sky. The sun is setting and the dark indigo sky is ablaze with sparks of red and orange. White flecks shoot across the sky and I wonder if they are those Muggle satellites my father has always told me about.

"Do they collide?" I ask and you smile. With my feet on the dash the world doesn't matter anymore.

"Do they collide?" I ask.

She smiled. "I don't know."

I stretched my long legs out onto the dashboard and fixed my gaze back on the sky. Being in love is fantastic. Who cares about anything else? I'm being drowned in it and I sure don't need any help.

When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride. When you need direction I'll be the guide. For all time. For all time.

"I love you." I whispered to her and I reached out to touch her hand on the steering wheel.

"Go back to sleep." She said. But a minute later I heard her whisper, "I love you."

And now I am asleep.
