Aluminum/Aluminum

I wish I could go back in time to when you were just seventeen and tell you what color your future would turn if you did not stop if you did not stop but I know that even if you knew what was to happen you would turn your shoulder to me and you wouldn’t stop wouldn’t stop even if I told you about the accident the accident even if I told you about that highway that highway the one you almost died on died the one where you car turned into a crushed Pepsi can I know that you still wouldn’t listen listen and that you wouldn’t stop wouldn’t stop even if I told you that he died died and you had to live with his ghost in your chest eternally that you would never be able to rid yourself of him that you and I would be strangers strangers that you and I would wander the earth and never rest. I know that you still wouldn’t stop wouldn’t stop. Still I want to go back when there was still a shred of innocence left in you because you were a child then but I know that you would lean your shoulder to me and wouldn’t stop wouldn’t stop
