the sea

this is something i wrote a long time ago and had forgotten about but i randomly just found it and thought i would post it.

racing down the highway the smell of oil in my nose
to where the game time high is my home's overnight low
explosions fill my ears the endless sky sooths my fears
i'll remember this time in my soul for years
all we need is all we want, but we have so much time for that
the world in front of us our fears behind, we've rooted out the rat
its in the sound of a catcher's mitt, it's in the sight of a friend
its the stand up feeling we get towards the end
of the day we can say that we're all we need
its the earthiest smell its all this good weed
its the sight of a woman so strong and so sweet
and her loving husband, without shoes on his feet
its the passing of strangers on the shoulder of the road
racing down in this camry, the car has a full load
its when i feel i belong to something bigger than me
the love and the pain, the loss and the gain, my soul grows bigger than the sea
