about

Everything is endless now -- I borrowed heavily from The Rise of Silas Lapham for this one.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rise_of_Silas_Lapham

This is the first song we recorded for this album.

lyrics

Passing Cars

I never drive at night
Between the silhouettes
She used to hang around me
But I guess she left
The years have done their mark
They’ve paralyzed you too
Just like the passing cars
Of people you once knew

I ran into the woods
Of this adult new life
Disguising my desire
From the place outside
We slid along like lushes
On expensive rails
Before the passing cars
Before their wild trails

So just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Cause everything is endless now
They’ll love you again

Moonlit and every voice
Off in the distance said
Something was unfolding
Before the brakelights sent
A signal to my head
Felt an unwanted thrill
Inside the passing cars
Of people you once

My life is not ending
Your life will never end
I didn’t realize these things before-or-hand
So up and down the coast
We get tossed back and forth
I couldn’t give it all
You couldn’t take much more

So just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Cause everything is endless now
They’ll love you again

Darling I just can’t take it
When they’ve dug me out

So just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Just don’t say
Everyone is coming down
Cause everything is endless now
They’ll love you again
You say everything is coming down
Well I don’t want to hear that now
They’ll love me again
