Love's Attempted Escape...

You will never escape it...

A new car
an American Muscle
is what I'll use
to run from my
love that still loves me
I hope it'll take me far

With the sound
of this turbo engine
and this radio
I try to drown her memory
but she sticks around

Fly'n one hundred plus
down this interstate
I never want to think of us
I want to think about me

Red and blue lights
flash in my mirror
she is getting closer
to my attempt

Never will I stop
never will I slow
never will I quit running
never will these lights
stop glowing

In this car
she won't leave
with something still
up my sleeve
I punch the nitrous
leaving them coppers
in the dust
along with my past

She's still here
and now I see
that my fear
isn't what my life is
her love that she gave
will forever satisfy me...

... Now
I'm sitting
in a cell
waiting for her

She comes
with tears in her eyes
and all I can do
is stroke her cheek
and tell her I'm sorry

Never will I again
attempt to escape
her love...

I had a hard time following the piece.The sound of this turbo engine and this radio drown her memory but it just keeps her around? Try this, The sound of the turbo, radio blaring an attempt to drown your memory, but it just keeps you around.?

This is kinda jumpy and jumbled along but I understood the theme and what you wanted to say along the lines (:

[J. F. Charleston]

Yes, I agree. Should do some editing
