A storm through your windshield

I was sitting in my room thinking about things that have been happening in my life recently and a melody came to me. It was raining outside and I couldn't help but think of someone. I was sure she was sleeping, or driving, or maybe even thinking of me...
"Silence never spoke so loud in the car last night.
My tired eyes never opened so wide, when the secrets came pouring out.
I kept my eyes on the road. You kept your feet on the dashboard
and you just stared out the window...

My fingers stay crossed tonight, that she makes her morning flight.
My fingers stay crossed today, that the storm shows her the way.
As she makes that drive in the dead of night, I start to find...
She's always on my mind.

Things can change in a year, but you'd find things still aren't clear.
Things can change in a month and you'd find it's still not done.
A lot can change in a day but you'd lose the strength to say
that more can change in a moment, and this moment is written all over your face.

My fingers stay crossed tonight, that she makes her morning flight.
My fingers stay crossed today, that the storm shows her the way.
As she makes that drive in the dead of night, I start to find...
She's always on my mind.

Miles could never break your heart.
It's the hours spent awake that set you apart.
These secrets bring us close, and make me say
You can become anything you want, when you're this far away.

My fingers stay crossed tonight, that you make your morning flight.
My fingers stay crossed today, that the storm shows you the way.
As you make that drive in the dead of night, I wonder...
Do I ever cross your mind?
