« Fall back into my open mind
Convinced you won't be hard to find »

C/N and I didn't grow up wealthy, in fact, quite the opposite. We were both from one-income households in the kind of areas that would give rich people the heebie-jeebies. Public school was the only option, and university didn't seem like a viable option for either of us. So, we opted for a year of travelling in his beaten down car, using savings from our part-time jobs. After that, we didn't know what we would do, but we didn't care, either.

« I've been expecting you to call
'Caus I'd find you in any world »

When we pulled into a beautiful lookout point and moved out to sit on the bonnet, we exchanged giggles at the posh accents of the family just a little way down from us. The father gave disapproving glances toward our vehicle, which just made us giggle even more.

« Set out, no doubt, 'caus every time
When all is lost, I see the signs »

"I don't think he likes my car," C/N whispered into my ear, making me stifle a full-blown laugh.

"Really? I think he's in awe," I whispered back.

« And you'll be waiting, after all
'Caus I'd find you in any world »

The mother of the children began guiding them further away from us, making us truly wonder how wealthy you had to be to be scared of two harmless teenagers such as ourselves.

"I'm guessing six figures."

"Huh?"

"I bet at least one of them makes six figures," he re-iterated.

I smiled, "Oh, right."

"Maybe 300K? Is that too generous?"

"Crazy some people actually make that much."

« And they said to just sit still
Apparently I'm just a girl »

"Yeah, but who cares about them, hm? How many of them do you think are honestly happy?"

I pondered it a little bit. It's not like I could answer the question; I didn't know the depths of wealthy people's minds.

« Who cares for fancy people
Who can't even fall in love? »

"Think about it," he continued, "Most of them marry for reputation, study what their parents tell them to, and live inside gigantic but lifeless houses."

"But they can travel wherever they want, we're stuck in this country."

"I think at the end of the day, the people you're surrounded with are more valuable than anywhere you could go."

« I'd rather travel round to find you in this goldfish bowl »

"Aw, how sweet, C/N," I said mockingly.

He gently punched my arm, "Tryna be nice here."

I rolled my eyes.

"It's true! I'll have just as much fun driving round the country as I would abroad, as long as it's with you."
