Engine Off (Variation)

One forty-seven on the dash The engine ticking as it cools A song I don't know found the station I found the parking spot by feel Not ready for the keys Not ready for the stairs The radio knows something About leaving me right here My windows dark from down below A life I'll step back into soon But right now this seat, this signal This borrowed little room Not ready for the keys Not ready for the stairs The radio knows something About leaving me right here Some nights the car's the only place Between the day and what comes next A dashboard shrine to in-between The patron saint of not yet Not yet Not yet
