Summer Backseat

from Racoon by Straight White Teeth

/

lyrics

Won’t be long I’m there in my mind
It’s a calm cool cove at the edges of the night
Once I’ve died from the petty old life
Gonna show everything that I used to hide

I wanna live in a truth that I’ll never find
Like an arrow aimed at a target on my own back I pull the string and fly

I see it
Empty cup
Summer back seat
With the windows rolled up
You’re a dark heart
In the shadows
Right on time

Promise me you’ll tell me why
Everything lives for a while then dies
Got no reason we should be so proud
If we all end up in the same cold ground

I wanna live in a truth that my deeds can’t buy
There’s beauty in futility and meaning in a willingness to try

I see it
Empty cup
Summer back seat
With the windows rolled up
You’re a dark heart
In the shadows
Right on time
