The Cool Song

I’ve spent hours here
But I’m not alone
A dashboard radio
Is singing me songs
Of nights in Philadelphia
Mornings to come
A train is waiting
To carry me down
Asleep on the window again
You felt just like home

You know that beauty,
It washes away
And the purity of childhood
It never remains
I want to be inspired
By things I don’t know
And gain wisdom
As a learn what it’s like
Growing old

I’ve spent seconds here
Never enough with you
Your smile will always
Brighten my world
A dashboard radio
Is singing me songs
Of nights in Boston
And mornings to come

You know that beauty,
It washes away
And the purity of childhood
It never remains
I want to be inspired
By things I don’t know
And gain wisdom
As a learn what it’s like
Growing old

So I’ll do a search, not on a screen
But inside my soul
And I won’t tell you to leave
Until someone tells me
I have to
I have to leave
I’ll be with you
Until someone tells me
I have to leave
