Sometimes I close my eyes
And she’s still there…
Waiting beside that little turquoise car
On a dusty road
At the edge of somewhere wonderful

People tell me I should miss my youth
But that’s not really true
I don’t miss the mirror
Or the dresses
Or the boys who watched me passing through
I miss the roads I hadn’t traveled
The maps I never owned
I miss arriving somewhere unexpected
With nothing but a dream to guide me home

No phone calls
No notifications
No endless voices in my ear
Just the world
Waiting patiently
To surprise me once again

Oh, the girl in the turquoise Fiat
With sunlight tangled in her hair
She didn’t know where she was going
And somehow didn’t care
Every turn was an adventure
Every sunset felt brand new
I’d never want to be young again

Back then every ocean was an ocean
Not a photograph I’d seen before
Every city had a thousand secrets
Waiting quietly behind a door
We lived inside the moment
Because the moment was enough
No audience
No followers
No need to prove we were in love

Just open skies
And lucky chances
And stories nobody else could tell
Because they happened only once
And happened only there

Oh, the girl in the turquoise Fiat
With sunlight tangled in her hair
She didn’t know where she was going
And somehow didn’t care
Every turn was an adventure
Every sunset felt brand new
I’d never want to be young again
But I’d love to be her for a day or two

Sometimes I see her in my memory
Leaning softly on that hood
Laughing at a future
She could never understand
Because she’s already living it
And she doesn’t know
How lucky she is

Oh, the girl in the turquoise Fiat
Still driving through my mind
Down roads that disappeared long ago
And somehow survived time
The world is faster now
But not necessarily true
And though I wouldn’t trade my life today
I’d still love to ride beside her
Just once more
Through the warm evening blue

The road grows quiet
The daylight fades
The engine hums somewhere far away
And for a little while
I’m young enough
To remember
How it felt
To be surprised by life
Again.
