Ride Forever - Apathy

911 what’s your emergency

My parents are missing

They’re older

My father relies heavily on medication for dementia

The neighbors saw them packing up their car and leaving

No one has heard from them in days

What are the ages or your parents

My mother is 76

My father is 79

It feels like years are flying by

Just won’t slow down

Spots where we used to eat at are all closed down

It’s just me and you left in this small ghost town

I could listen to you breathe 'til there’s no more sound

Let’s jump inside the ride and ride forever x4

Driving 90 on the highway

He’s nervous

Keep checking his rear-view like every other second

He turned to his wife and said, «I think he’s right behind us

But if I take this next exit right here, he’ll never find us»

She smiled at him fighting back tears to calm his fears

That tricks worked for like the past 60 years

Cause even when they were young, she knew he was the one

She walked to his son to bury the smoking gun

That’s love

The type that people say you can’t purchase

You jump in front of bullets for a life of secret service

But every single day no matter whatever she say

He’s convinced there’s somebody trying to take her away

And she knows it’s his age

He’s confused and he’s panicked

But the fact he kidnapped her from death’s kinda romantic

So maybe just another town

Maybe it’s forever

As long as they can spend a little more time together

No matter what he ain’t going now not without a fight

If he has to drink coffee and drive all through the night

He can tell somebody wants to take her but doesn’t know who

It’s just this feeling in his gut for like the last month or two

So he told her pack a bag with some clothes and the old photos

Filled the car with gas and popped a couple of no doze

Been driving for days

He swear he’s going insane

And the motels they stay at are starting to look the same

He could see it on her face

She’s tired — she can’t pretend

But nobody in this world is going to take his best friend

Raised three kids and now their grand-kids are having babies

It’s crazy but nothing matters more to him than his lady

He glances in the passenger seat and stops and stares

It looks like she’s sleeping but he knows she’s not there

He pushes on the gas

Car accelerates fast

Aimed straight into a tree

Didn’t even feel the crash

After this fiery crash in Bourne

Just look at that video

Police say the driver veered off the road and into the guard rail

That is when the car burst into flames

The crash meanwhile is still under investigation

We drove by it actually

I remember

But that one’s right there

They’re both cool

So summer’s over

It’s September again

And I know the kids are going back to school and what not

And what to do now
