Taking the Wheel
Navigating Love's Journey: Taking the Wheel
Lyrics
Sarah sits in the passenger seat and
Sarah is in the passenger seat.
Ponders the thought of taking the wheel,
Sarah contemplates the idea of taking control of the car.
Being more than indulged or humoured navigation,
Desire to be more than just entertained or guided in navigation.
The comfort of feeling as though she's directing.
Enjoys the feeling of being in charge and directing the journey.
Gesturing left and gesturing right,
Gestures indicating left and right for navigation.
Turn around down here,
Instructions to turn around and pull over; anticipation builds.
Pull in at the side of the road.
-There's something you need to know.
Implies an important revelation or information to share.
The two of them there sitting side by side,
David is driving with Sarah beside him.
David driving and Sarah beside.
-The splashing rain on the window screen,
Setting with rain on the window and the sound of nature.
The straining drain of nature's spleen.
-Gesturing left and gesturing right,
Repetition of the desire to turn around and share something important.
Turn around down here,
-Pull in at the side of the road.
-There's something you need to know.
-David dares his eyes to glance over,
David senses tension in the air as he dares to glance at Sarah.
But can already feel the heat rising off her.
-Condensation closing in,
Condensation on the window affects visibility.
Makes it hard to see the road in front of him.
-Gesturing left and gesturing right,
Repetition of gestures and the need to stop for a revelation.
Turn around down here,
-Pull in at the side of the road.
-There's something you need to know.
-Saved by the radio once again,
The radio saves the moment with a song, creating a shared experience.
A song comes on to take them out of there skin,
-And in love now as they listen to words,
-That others have sung so that they don't have to.
-Gesturing left and gesturing right,
Continued gestures with the engine's hum, creating an intimate atmosphere.
The hum of the engine, a hum womb-like.
-Daring feet upon the dashboard speak,
Reference to daring actions, hinting at a desire that may be fading.
A sweet desire for more, rotting away from the core.
-David resigns to indicate,
David concedes control, and the engine cuts near a lake.
And the engine cuts at the edge of a lake.
-The song is reaching its final refrain,
The song is ending, and the wish is for it to last.
Their only wish is for it to remain.
-Gesturing left and gesturing right,
Final gestures, turning around, and stopping for a crucial revelation.
Turn around down here.
-Pull in at the side of the road,
-There's something you need to know.
