The Early November – Sunday Drive

And we wait above a road.
We're turning to go home.
And the silence from the side of the car,
Tells me everything and how we are.
'Cause there's no more trying to make this so right.
There's no more trying tonight.

And you know it's not so easy when
You're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone
In your head.

I know something is wrong,
I just don't know what to do.
You say it's only me, and that I'm so perfect for you.
I don't want to try no more,
I don't want to make this right.
I just want you to be true to me one time.

And you know it's not so easy when
You're all alone,
And I wonder if I'm alone
In your head.

Twelve days gone by since I have saw you last,
I'll give this one more try,
I'll give it all my best, and I'll ask
What could you be doing that is so much fun?
Without me by your side,
Without me by your side.
And I will take a step back, and I'll let you ahead,
And I will take a step away, and see if you come back,
Because there's no more trying to make this so right,
There's no more trying,
There's no more trying tonight.

We'll never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
We will never be the same,
Until you're done.

    General Commentplay this song while you're driving...it's very atmospheric.


    I think this is the perfect song to listen to after a hard breakup. It may be the only thing that keeps you from going insane it makes you feel independent.

    General Comment"and the silence from the side of the car
    tells me everything, and how we are"

    its when words have lost all sincerity when the silence speaks the loudest. i think everyone's been there at least once.

    there's always hope in the darkest of places.. even ace got back with the same girlfriend he wrote this about.

    General Commenti think this is a song about an ending relationship. in the beginning it talks about how hes in a car and theres an awkward silence, so im going to assume that this is when she first told him she met somebody new. and then "and you know it's not so easy when you're all alone" sort of shows that she met somebody new, because hes alone and she isnt. and hes the one thats thinking about her. he saw her 12 days ago, and hes asking what shes doing thats fun that she hasn't cared about him for 12 days and hes going to try one last time to try to make her understand what shes losing, but she gives him up anyway and now he doesn't want to care about the relationship he just wants her to realize the mistake that she made. "we will never be the same again until you're done" fucking beautiful. i think it is about having hope, but you eventually do give up. i know i did.

    General Commentthe line " i will take a step back and i'll let you ahead and i will take a step away and see if you come back" makes me realize the only way to tell if someone truly cares about you is to leave them and see if they come back...because if they dont they never really loved you.

    General CommentSigh. I'm a big "tough"(as viewed by others) "emotionally distant"(as viewed by others) sometime egotistical teenager. But everytime i listen to this in my car, i cry(well my eyes tear up and i try to act like its just some junk in the a/c)...i love this song. The worst part is that a girl i know saw me in the car...and when she asked me about it, i just said "listen to this song."
