just for one day

"and you,
you can be mean.
and i,
i'll drink all the time.
'cause we're lovers,
and that is a fact,
yes we're lovers,
and that is that."

i used to drive down to the beach, at night, in an attempt to clear my thoughts and emotions when things at home just got to be too much. this was in my first car, when i first had discovered the delicious freedom of driving while listening to music turned up loud. this song was one of about five that always did it for me. it was a magical escape that would overtake me within the confines of the song, and the next thing i knew i would be plotting out the images of some self-created tragic love story to this song. i still see it, on the backside of my eyes, when i close them and sing along.
