Ambulance Rides
(music and lyrics by Chad Perrone)
Ambulance rides at night
Are a foggy memory
Like a half-remembered dream.
Or the bracelet gift with my name on it
Then a lonely car ride home
To self-destruct there all alone
I can’t put enough space between myself and the horrors I’ve seen
Or find the time to rest, give grace what little I have left
And I’ve built up these resentments dear, from thinking you were more present here
But now there’s nothing I can say to wipe away those days.
So, what now? I’m learning to live with, but I can’t find forgiveness for free.
Not with all the bridges I’ve melted and the hopes that I’ve left in debris.
How could I let myself live happy?
It’s the smallest things
That bring me back again
And the feelings are as if
I never walked away from it.
Like a car crash I re-live all the time
Of a wreckage of a man
Who just wants to be whole again.
And I’ve built up these resentments dear, from not reaching out to pull you near
Now I’m learning how to pray, but doubt gets in the way
So, where were you then? How were you feeling when I was alone?
You call me your friend, but I don’t think I know what that means anymore.
(Chad A Perrone, Chad Perrone Music, ASCAP)
