Driving on the open road
on our way home,
in the middle of the night
and the stars are bright,
Three of us kids
asleep in the back seat
maybe there's a bump
and I'm awake in a heart beat.
Just me and the driver
but he doesn't even see me
everyone else
is still just dreaming.
I sit up for a bit and stretch my elbow
pull up my blanket
and rest my head on the window
I got nothing to do
and time to pass
I look at the stars
and think and relax
because it's all so beautiful
all I need is to look at it
I can stare until until dawn
I'm a majesty addict.

Remember as a kid being asleep in the car while driving home late at night? I still remember loving to stare at the stars.
