Another life: a short story

You never asked me where I came from
I never had a reason to think you'd even care, but I loved the smell of your hair
I met you on an empty beach
I always hated the ocean, but I happened to be there
That's one thing we share

Give me a ride
I don't care where we're going if it's with you
As long as it's with you
It's just for tonight
Don't tell me where you're going when this is through
'Cause I don't wanna know
I don't wanna know, no

I haven't done this in a long time
You'll just have to forgive me if I shake a little bit
And I'll try to quit if you'll

It shouldn't be so hard to forget the soft look of your face when I can tell myself you never did exist in the first place
Thought it'd be okay -- this wouldn't get in the way
But I've been wrong for so long
We could have one beautiful night, but I'm sure you've got another life
You know I've got another life
