about
Fun samples of police radio introduce this song about a fateful crash on a highway as lovers race to meet each other.
lyrics
The waiting – sometimes for days
Abated only by distance
Those statements
Across county lines (your eyes)
A system
This is my system
Rearview mirror; empty seat
Midnight lights – to bleed for miles
Bristling tempo and you
Promises long past overdue
City breathes ahead and smiles
Coffee stains and apologies
Separate from your pillow
That’s drowning you so gingerly
Eyes are heavy, hands so slack
Dreaming of you now
Awake for me
So many miles yet to see
Pieces fall like sleet in front of me
