THURSDAY LYRICS - Understanding In A Car Crash

"Understanding In A Car Crash"



Splintered piece of glass falls, in the seat, gets caught

These broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost

In trying so hard to look away from you

we followed white lines to the sunset

I crash my car everyday the same way



Time to let this pass

(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Time runs through our veins.

(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)

We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time

(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Time to let this pass

(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)



Staring at the setting sun

No reason to come back again

The twilight world in blue and white

The needle and the damage done



I don't want to feel this way forever

A dead letter marked return to sender



The broken watch you gave me turns into a compass

It's two hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye



So push the seats back a little further

I can see the headlights coming

So push the seats back a little further

Roll the windows down and take a breath

I can see the headlights coming

They paint the world in red and broken glass



Time to let this pass

(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Time runs through our veins.

(it starts and stops and starts and stops again)

We don't stand a chance in this threadbare time

(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)

Time to let this pass

(the time it takes, the time it takes to let go)



Staring at the setting sun

No reason to come back again

The twilight world in blue and white

The needle and the damage done



I don't want to feel this way forever

A dead letter marked return to sender



The spinning hubcaps set the tempo, for the music of the broken window

The Cameras on and the cameras click

We open up the lens and can't stop



Staring at the setting sun

No reason to come back again

The twilight world in blue and white

The needle and the damage done



I don't want to feel this way forever



The lights are on and the cameras click

We open up the lens (to broken glass!)



Staring at the setting sun (And it's over!)

No reason to come back again (In a flash!)

The twilight world in blue and white (and I'll never!)

The needle and the damage done (ever understand!)



I don't want to feel this way forever (Understanding!)

(In a Car Crash!) A dead letter marked return to sender (In a Car Crash!)

(In a Crash!) In a Crash!
