Open Skies

[seeyat]

I'll always be caught within the memories we made
The soulful sound of music as night arose from day
Kind hearts and heavy laughter singing for miles
Never needing a destination, such elation
Our only worry where we'd find a gas station
Never meant to travel far from home, not our style

I'd find these memories passed on
Halted and held, forever wished upon
An upper body ballroom in the seats behind
These are the dreams I wanted to find, open skies
No matter the image I found, the oldest presence, a gift
This ghost in the shadows of the pillars, lights pass and it shifts

I'll always be caught within the memories we made
Learning about love from friends as the music played
Breathing sighs as we realized the time flew by
Ever reading life's design, when we'd find the time
It never really mattered who found the first dime
Raise the fuel gauge once more, the highway's dry

Making poor life choices, hopping mounds
Drifting circles round, dust and dirt the gravel bounds
Only for a moment was this the life to gleam
It was important for a time to chase his dream
Here and now is passion in these open skies
Not mine and I am nothing without your shining eyes
Nothing without your song, without our words
I'd muffle the world just to find them heard

I remember being caught in the memories we made
Now so quickly fading with the songs no longer played
It's time to breathe and open my own eyes
Time is fleeting, and there's no defeating it
Just one choice in how we see to meeting it
Upon the wings of angels could our future soon arise
Embrace the dream, set your sights and sever ties
Because time will wait for no one and I dream of open skies
