Understanding in a Car Crash
Thursday
[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
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
Its two hands still point to the same time 12:03
Our last goodbye

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Chorus]
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)

[Verse 2]
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 camera's on and the camera's click
We open up the lens and can't stop

[Verse 2]
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)
