Suki dropped the letter into the mailbox with no return address<br />
She backed away from what she'd done, smiled at the emptiness<br />
She slipped back in the driver's seat, looked in the rear-view mirror<br />
Remorse, regret, she turned the key / Reverse but no return<br />
Starting over, starting over<br />
She felt a hunger in her belly and her foot down on the gas, the cry of the road<br />
Growling in her belly made her drive too fast, static on the radio<br />
Starting over, starting over<br />
Suki smelled the coffee burning as she walked into the place<br />
The waiter he didn't like her, she could see it in his face, and he said to her:<br />
“You know, if you don't like the coffee in here, why don't you just get back in your little car and go on down the road. I'm sure you can find yourself a nice little coffee shop somewhere with a latte or espresso or something with whipped cream and a cherry on top. It's a big world out there, and don't let the door hit you on the way out.”<br />
And you know, she thought to herself, he's right. It is a very, very, very big world out there. As big as the blue Pacific, or the sequoias out in California. As big as the Canadian arctic, or Chicago traffc. As big as those power towers that she saw when she was driving across New Jersey. The world is as big as her vacant womb.<br />
Suki drove for hours, for days, for weeks, between the broken lines. <br />
She drove by the water, she drove by the woods, singing<br />
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine<br />
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine<br />
Starting over, starting over, starting over<br />
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
