They drive away to leave the past behind, to clear their minds and to enjoy the sunset. The protagonist swears that she is fine and that he is her way home. Then the woman closes her eyes and they are alone, no one is on the highway - only the protagonist and his wife drive home.

"We drive To leave the past and clear the mind To watch the sunset at its time I swear you're fine, I'm your ride home Now close your eyes It's getting dark and the highway's clear No sign of life from front to rear It's just you, my dear, on the ride home We're going home "
