Nny struggled to keep his eyes open. He only had a few more miles
until he would be home. He sipped his coffee-a double espresso (he needed
all the caffeine he could get) and turned the radio up a little louder.
*Driving home to be with you The highway's dividing, the city's in view*
He knew he could make it. He thought about Devi, and how surprised she would be.sure, she would probably try to kill him.maybe run screaming, he deserved it, but.he hoped if he could talk to her calmly, maybe, just maybe she would take him back.maybe talking would help, that and the sight of the beautiful ring he had been saving up for for the past six months.
*As usual, I'm almost on time You're the last thing that's on my mind*
He felt his eyes slowly slip closed.
*I wish I could tell you the way that I feell But tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel*
He could still see the road, but it was distorted, wrong in a way.highways aren't supposed to be purple.and there aren't normally hitchhiking pink bunnies with angel wings.oh.shit.he realized he all too late that he was dreaming
*No commotion, no screaming brakes Most of it's over before I awake From the ceiling, my coffee cup drips While out my window, the horizon does flips*
The next thing he knew, a horrendous crashing sound woke him from his slumber and his whole body jerked against the restraint of the safety belt.the airbags didn't inflate soon enough.he hit his head against the steering column.
*The worst part was hitting the ground - Not the feeling so much as the sound Can't help but wonder if all this is real Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the whee*l
His world exploded in a blast of noise and chaos.he heard disjointed sounds.voices.screams.sirens.he tried to open his eyes, but all he saw was red.too much red.it burned to try to look through the curtain of blood that clouded his vision.
*Rubberneck traffic and passersby And Slow Motion Walter the fire engine guy Stand around with their mouths open wide I heard some idiot ask if someone's inside With the Jaws of Life they tried and they tried Nobody here can know how I feel Cause tonight is the night I fell asleep at the wheel*
He knew he was going to die. He didn't even struggle. He just accepted.
*I guess it's over now Cause I've never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much Never seen so much, never seen so much Never seen so much blood*
He watched from above as the firemen attempted to pull his mangled body from the wreckage, not realizing that it was already too late.
*In all the confusion, there's something serene I'm just a posthumous part of the scene Now I'm floating above looking in As the radio blares and wheels spin I can see my face slump with a grin*
It was only then, when he saw a bloody fireman pull what was left of him out of the car, that he thought again of Devi.and the ring.and how she would never know that he was on his way to see her, how much he had longed to hold her, to ask her to be his wife.these were his last thoughts as his soul moved on to wherever it was he belonged.
*And you...you're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind You're the last thing on my mind*
