Racing Toward the New Lyrics
The sweet day is almost weightless in here
So I talk but no one can relate
To the fear I had when I was younger
Somehow I knew I'd end up empty and alone
The gentle shift of continuous change
We confuse all the things that we say to ourselves
To the things we say to each other, always a lie
But at least we find some comfort for a while
Get in our cars and embrace something new
To escape, we will always get caught
In the fear that what you had before was better
And you will become sick with the dream
Of knowing that you will be old (to be old)

this song is absolutely amazing

"so we'll start where the others left off, get in our cars and embrace something new."
i love this sentiment. i love this song. love love love.

"we confuse all the things that we say, to ourselves to the things we say to each other, always a lie but at least we find some comfort for a while"
I've never heard the song, but I think the lyrics are pretty honest. I love it connors subtlety and simple truthfulness in his lyrics. He is the kindof person where you just want to believe everything he says. He also does a great job of talking about depression without giving the impression that he feels sorry for himself or overdramatic. What can I say, I'm obsessed.

Beautiful. Makes me think back to Saturday As Usual. "To the fear I had when I was younger Somehow I knew I'd end up empty and alone" I Can't wait for the new cds to come out! And Bright Eyes better come to Buffalo soon!

"The sweet day is almost weightless in here"
