The Ghosts of Cars, I Wish I Was in One

Blew out the smoke-ring trail at dusk
The ghosts of cars race along the wall
The lead in my stomach keeps me immobile
The knot in my throat has sentenced me dumb
Together, but there's nothing left to say
Forever is the longest word I've ever heard
I've ever heard
The spark of your lighter snaps my trance
The burning sizzle creeps through the silence
Summer night cools all the doorknobs
The moon has cleansed this sterile world
Together, but there's nothing left to say
Forever, seconds sleep away
And you'll never write, I'll never call
We'll never be together
We'll never be the same again
The same again
We'll never be together again
We'll never be together again
We'll never be together
