Apathy - Ride Forever lyrics

[Intro] {phone rings} 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 [Hook] 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 [Verse 1] Driving 90 on the highway He's [jetting?] 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 d**h's kinda romantic So maybe just another town Maybe it's forever As long as they can spend a little more time together [Hook] [Verse 2] 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 pa**enger 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 {crashes} [Hook] [Outro] {news story and people talking in background} 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
