Note On A Windshield

I circled twice then pulled in by the shopping carts In a cold steady rain coming down in the parking lot I saw him leave his truck running and duck into the store I just sat there thinking I'd seen him before

There was something so familiar about him In the eyes of someone who hasn't forgotten The shape of a chance as it catches the light In the millions of rain drops falling that night

So I dug in my bag for a pen and some paper Found an envelope, tore it in half I wrote down some words with my name and my number And then I took a big breath

There's nothing holding us down I'm not made of stone or of steel I slipped it beneath the wiper blades Just a note on a windshield

When you find yourself out of things to believe in Apart and adrift, no point and no reason Is there nothing to fear because there's nothing to lose? If it were a choice which one would you choose?

There's time you can trust and time that you question Time you ignore and time you don't mention Time that you wish you could get back somehow When see you how fast its flying by now

There's nothing holding us down I'm not made of stone or of steel Will the wind blow you away Like a note on a windshield

There's nothing holding us down And no words for the way that you feel You just watch the rain pour On a note on a windshield

Some days I still think I could be someone else Those are the days I feel lost to myself Mistaking a stranger, misplacing a heart How to put back together what's been taken apart

I didn't want to leave but I didn't want to linger Fatalist, optimist, magical thinker You only hold on until you let go Turning the key, I pulled away slow

There's nothing holding us down As my hands were turning the wheel The rain washed words away From a note on a windshield There's nothing holding us down When there's nothing left to reveal We are light, we are weightless and brave Like a note on a windshield
