Impressionism

Lyrics

Press the pedal Down to the floor Just kidding you know I Would never drive that fast I'm not much for taking risks It's not that I'm scared It just doesn't really seem to be worth it I can still feel the air And I'd like to see the lights So why don't you look to the south You can see everything from here And in the darkness The places people live Seem to float above the hills And I can see the lights We're both looking far away Saying something about death And I think it might be good To take our time with that So we got left behind? I guess people get left behind And as our youths float to the earth We still have no clue what to say What to say Eyes move slow, and legs move slow Maybe I should go to bed on time For once let's breath in deeply You know it's ok to cry I was never smart anyway I'll hold my bitterness and Open up my hands as the day breaks Please destroy it all! I've had enough of these good dreams Because I know it's all gone Squint into the wind by the seaside Pick up shells and toss them in Run across the shallow water Rest your hands just above the shining sand Close your eyes and little tears form Because you woke up really early today I could never eat this early I got sick and I almost fainted So it was lively, it was lovely, the sunset's colored like a rose and It was not like nothing else but I'll describe it with average words We both know impressionism was always the kind of art I liked So i'll use a big brush, if you squint you'll make it out Press your nose against the window The first snow barely dusts the ground As much time as you spend in silence One day this will be ten years past And I once knew you, and you once knew me, but now I don't know a thing about that And I once passed you on the street but I didn't realize 'til later I thought we'd be friends forever I thought I'd know you when I was 80 But I'm always wrong about so many things So it was lively, it was lovely, the sunset's colored like a rose and It was not like nothing else but I'll describe it with average words We both know impressionism was always the kind of art I liked So i'll use a big brush, I'll use a big brush Agh !!!! I don't know And I'm sorry- And I'm sorry I'll never see you again
