Understanding in a Car Crash

Wolves At The Gate

Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat of 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 
(to take time to break the cycle) 

Staring at the setting sun 
No reason to come back again 
The twlight world in blue and white 
The needle and the damage done 

I dont 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 hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye 

So push the seats back a little further 
Roll the windos down and take a breath 
I can see the headlights coming 
They paint the world in red and broken glass 
The spinning hubcaps set the tempo for the music of a broken window 
When the lights are on and the cameras click 
We open up the lens to broken glass and it's over in a flash 

I'll never understand
