Understanding In A Car Crash (F.S.F. version) Lyrics

Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat, gets caught
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
Crash my car everday the same way

Time to let this pass
(The time it takes, the time it takes to let go)
Time runs through our veins
(Starts and stops and starts and stops again)
We dont 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)

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 dont want to feel this way forever
A dead letter marked, return to sender

Broken watch you gave to me turns into a compass
Its two hands still point to the same time 12:03, our last goodbye

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

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 dont want to feel this way forever
A red letter marked, return to sender

Spinning hubcaps set the tempo for the music of the broken window
Cameras on and the cameras click
We open up the lens and cant stop

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 dont want to feel this way forever
The lights are on, and the cameras click
We open up the lens
(The broken glass)
Staring at the setting sun
(And its over)
No reason to come back again
(In a flash)
The twilight world in blue and white
(Understanding)
The needle and the damage done
(Ill never understand)
I dont want to feel this way forever
(Understanding, in a car crash)
A red letter marked, return to sender
(In a car crash)
In a crash (In a crash)

The tide is high on Fourtheeth Street
The rain comes in to clear the heat
The tide is high on Fourthteeth Street
The tide...the tide is high

Standing On The Edge Of Summer

Splintered piece of glass falls in the seat, gets caught 
Broken windows, open locks, reminders of the youth we lost 
In trying so hard to look away from you

Time runs through our veins 
(Starts and stops and starts and stops again) 
We dont 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)

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 dont want to feel this way forever

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Sorry if the lyrics for this are wrong, but it's from F.S.F where they medley U.I.A.C.C with A001. I couldn't quite make out exactly what Geoff sings at the end, but I did the best I could.

It's on Five Stories Falling, an album that isn't too hard to find. Has 4 live songs, and one new song. It's the CD with Jet Black New Year on it (I highly recommend buying it and not downloading it, the booklet is one of the best i've ever seen.)

Yeah, the booklet is incredible. The song isn't much different, except for the medley at the end. It's great though :)

the fsf version of this song sucks ass but "Standing on the Edge of Summer" is absolutely incredible. The FSF album is really good overall. It makes me want to dive in puddles when its raining at night.
