Charlie is out drinking when he sees a familiar face.
Vickie is across the bar and pounding shot after shot. After her seventh, she stumbles onto the street and Charlie goes after.
He catches up to her, not sure of what he’ll say. Before he can say anything, she sees him. Her eyes glimmer with recognition. She is falling backward in time as well.
They are both very relieved to find a fellow time-traveler and start spending the majority of their time together as the days crawl backward.
Lyrics:
Tossed aside and finished breathing death. That seven shots no chaser left her out on the street, with no one around to brace her, and as a hopped down from my barstool, I saw her glimmer with recognition,and she was stumbling, and she was grinning because her world was bright and spinning, and now I know, for her there's no real tomorrow. Like me and Billy, she fell into yesterday, where I'm still looking for you so I can say: ‘Will you ride from highway to highway, and airport to airport, just you and me?’ In this blacktop world we will try to be free, but I guess we'll have to see. Cuz at the end of my start I thought I'd find my goal. But now I've found and lost you, and I might have to let you go. But if I we're to find you going forward past me, I wonder just how you would see me. Would you put an end to my weary dreaming? And in the end I'll know who we are. More than a boy. More than a girl. And we’ll both see how far we’ve come, and all that’s been done to make us whole.
