Trigger

I've heard it said for everything

There is a given time

And I believe it though I thought I never would

For even if in my entire life

I never feel so fine

As in that moment I'd undo it if I could

But on that night our only thoughts

Were of how quickly we might find

Release from all that we'd been forced to feel

And how all that we would need

As long as we kept up our speed

Was just each other in our search for something real

I'd ached to touch you

In fact so much

You sensed I couldn't wait one minute more

And it was all too plain to see

You had the same idea as me

When you handed me your keys

Led me to the door

And you said

Don't take me home

As the moonlight off the chrome

Of the fender shone into my clouded sight

I wanna know

How fast this thing can go

Down a dark North Oaks road

On a cold September night, and I said

I've got myself on the trigger

I might just figure it out

I might I might just figure it out

Can't slow me down

What I'd wanted more than anything

Left me so surprised

When the truth arrived, as if on cue

For in that moment my entire life

Flashed before my eyes

Not one single frame of film had featured you

Just goes to show

You never know

Your true priorities until too late

When the dust had fin'ly cleared

What once had seemed so dear

Lost all meaning in the face

Of a random twist of fate, and I said

I've got myself on the trigger

I might just figure it out

I might I might just figure it out

Can't slow me down
