i drive fast
because i see your car
pull out of the parking lot
a minute before
i get to mine, so i
buckle my seat belt and
tear out of there,
with a fire in me

i drive fast
because i miss you
already and wish
you wanted
to touch
the way i do

i drive fast
because i want to
be near you
and push the hair
out of your face
smiling, thinking,
i've got you
right where i want you

i drive fast
because i hope to
catch you at a red light
and glance into the other lane
saying,
"well, look who it is."
