Ryan O'Reilly - Old Blue Corolla

In the suitcase I gave you

I found two pocket watches

frozen in time

Just minutes apart

While out in snow

An old blue Corolla

Was driving slowly

Just trying to park

Beneath faded newspaper

From 1992

Was an old baseball card

Almost like new

While out in snow

In that old blue Corolla

From this distance I swear

The driver could have been you

And the suitcase I gave you

Is battered and broken

It’s been too many places

Packed too many times

And that old blue Corolla

Was like the one we once knew

Where I almost died

And my brother too

When It was finally empty

I just put it away

Next to some other things

I’ll go through some other day

And the street is now empty

In the silence of snow

I guess that old blue Corolla

Chose that moment to go

The suitcase I gave you

Replaced one that you’d torn

That was dragged through the streets

Since before I was born

And that old blue Corolla

Was like the one you bought new

It reminds me of then

It reminds me of you
