With all the laws I’m breaking

I’d blow right through my savings

on the tickets.



Running a red light.

Driving eighty-five

in a school zone.



Now I’m jogging down that corridor 

with white washed walls and checkered floors.

I see the face that I’d adored through the doorway.

I take a step and I take a chance 

to take back that girl that I’d romanced in the first place.



Then between us, there you are

with that crooked smile, weathered scar. 



Orthotricyclin.

Never trust it again.

It and she forgot me.



And on the very night

we found the tests were right

you consoled her. 



Now I’m jogging down that corridor 

with white washed walls and checkered floors.

I see the face that I’d adored through the doorway.

I take a step and I take a chance 

to take back that girl that I’d romanced in the first place.



Then between us, there you are,

with that crooked smile, weathered scar. 

Then between us, there you are,

with my only child in your arms
