Pleather

A plain and lazy afternoon still fresh inside my head

An echo of a simpler time, a reflection that's yours and mine

That car would take us anywhere, get back before the sun

Return to that uneasy place where you are father and I am son

We're going for a drive

It's all in my mind

The smell of pleather and gasoline

We are chrome that turned to rust

The years that separate us now are the years we lost to our mistrust

I'm sorry for my absence but it isn't all my fault

I've come to a place where I can say

that I'm not angry at you anymore

Well thought we tried

it's still in my mind

Let me steer us home, I promise to get us there

Looking straight ahead I'll be alright tonight

I look inside myself and find a piece of you in spite of me

It's getting easier to accept I've become a lot like you again

I look inside myself and find a way out of this tangled way

I'm doing things to spite you now

I'm doing things that tear me down

So turn the radio up and we'll sit inside a rivalry

A stolen moment locked in time

A signal that it will be alright

Well, it's getting easier to be me everyday

I look inside myself and find a piece of you
