If I could ride this slide into forever
What would I give to getaway
That pain that stayed
Seemed like forever
What would you give to getaway
I know this is how I could be over you
You know this is not another waste of time
All this holding on can't be wrong
Just come back to me and I am not alone
There are a lot of reasons Dean has to keep driving.
Some of those reasons are women.
Sometimes he drives to put distance between himself and them, before they can attempt to stake a claim. He never gives them his number. He rarely gives them his real last name. And there's not much of a cleaner cut than leaving them nothing but memories and the last image of his taillights, fading into the horizon.
Sometimes he drives before his mistakes can catch up to him. Before that engaged woman's burly fiancee realizes where she was last night. Before that slightly mentally unstable chick who he'd simply pegged as drunk-crazy at the time comes after him with a knife. Before someone throws around that "L" word.
This time, however, he drives so he won't be tempted to stay.
She doesn't want him to, anyways. It's like she said: even before, she was probably already looking for a way out when he'd scared her off with the monster hunting spiel. Maybe there was a part of her that wanted a future with him, like they'd hinted at, but she'd made it perfectly clear that she couldn't trust in a future like that.
She couldn't trust him.
In truth, Dean isn't sure he can really blame her, and he hates the way that knowledge tears him up, where she's concerned. He hopes that if he keeps driving, that the emotional pull of Cape Girardeau will weaken. Drop off, even, eventually.
Keep moving forward. Keep hunting. Town after town, monster after monster, girl after girl.
It's all a means of putting distance between himself and any steady place.
And yet, whatever he tells everyone else, whatever he tells himself, he's sort of terrified of that cord tying him back to her snapping entirely.
The truth is: part of him really needs to believe in that steady place.
But damned if he'll ever say that out loud.
